The orchestration engine builds, configures, and converges the single system solution. The orchestration engine builds the system by instantiating machines and services on the various clouds. The orchestration engine configures the system according to input from the client and the solution provider and then converges the various systems by establishing relationships and connections between the various services. Optionally, the orchestration engine also runs tests to verify that the system is working properly. Once the system has been built, configured and converged, the orchestration engine provides the client with a single entry point for using the system solution. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-transitory machine readable medium for storing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform an installation of a system solution, the installation including: generating a blueprint for instantiating a system solution on a plurality of clouds, the generating a blueprint further comprising: sending an invitation to use the system solution to a potential user, and generating a particular blueprint providing a system solution based on information provided via a form to the potential user in response to a reply to the invitation; instantiating one or more first components in a first cloud and instantiating one or more second components in a second cloud based on the particular blueprint; installing and configuring software on at least one of the first cloud or the second cloud based on the particular blueprint; converging the first cloud and the second cloud such that at least one first component of the first cloud is configured to directly communicate with at least one second component of the second cloud based on the particular blueprint; and verifying, via the orchestration engine, that the installation is successful. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions to cause the at least one processor to perform instantiating one or more first components in the first cloud and one or more second components in the second cloud further cause the at least one processor to perform: instantiating one or more virtual machines on at least one of the first cloud and the second cloud. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 2, wherein the instructions to cause the at least one processor to perform installing and configuring the software further cause the at least one processor to perform: installing and configuring the software on the one or more virtual machines. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions to cause the at least one processor to perform installing and configuring the software further cause the at least one processor to perform: creating connections between the first cloud and the second cloud. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 4, wherein the connections are between a plurality of virtual machines instantiated on the first cloud and the second cloud. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to perform: retrieving an installation script for installing software from a script repositor. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the installing and configuring the software further comprises: using the installation script to install the software on a virtual machine on at least one of the first cloud or the second cloud. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to perform: sending, via email, the invitation to the potential user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to perform: receiving a request from a user for the system solution;
