Rack-based design verification and management

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a list of elements corresponding to a proposed data center solution, the list of elements comprising at least computing resources, storage resources and connection resources, wherein the proposed data center solution comprises at least a first configuration of the computing resources, the storage resources and the connection resources;
• execute a first set of microservices to evaluate a physical layout of the computing resources and the storage resources from the list of elements, wherein executing the first set of microservices comprises parsing configuration data associated with the computing resources and the storage resources and evaluating the first configuration for the computing resources, the storage resources and the connection resources by communicating, via a set of application programming interfaces (APIs), with an external configuration tool containing a set of policies;
• execute a second set of microservices to evaluate point-to-point connections between the computing resources and the storage resources utilizing the connection resources in the first configuration;
• update the list of elements to correspond to a second configuration based on the evaluation of the physical layout and the point-to-point connections;
• execute a third set of microservices to determine supply chain status information and lead time information for at least a subset of the updated list of elements;
• generate a final data center solution based on the updated list of elements, the physical layout, the point-to-point connections and the supply chain status information, wherein the final data center solution comprises physical configurations of the computing resources and the storage resources with corresponding point-to-point connections therebetween and supply chain status information for the updated list of elements;
• and
• facilitate implementation of the final data center solution by providing the final data center solution to various parties involved in the implementation to build he data center.
