A method of controlling a data centre architecture, with the data centre 10 comprising a plurality of devices 2 to 8 of different types, and a plurality of software applications 9 being executed on resources provided by the devices, comprises: acquiring information on links 11, 12, P between the devices, between the software applications, or between the devices and the software applications; processing this information to generate or update a model of the data centre architecture, where relations between devices, between software applications, or between devices and software applications are established; and implementing command sequences for controlling the devices or software applications, the sequences being set up on the basis of the generated data centre model. Acquired information may relate to network routing information. The model may include a virtualized architecture of the data centre, involving virtual machines V1, V2, V3. Software applications may include a power management tool, or infrastructure management application, or virtualization management application. Relations may be distinguished into compulsory relations and redundant relations. The method is intended to facilitate automatically discovering dynamic changes in the data centre architecture. |
