Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for automatically generating software and configuring software application installation. Some embodiments may include a method of configuring one or more hardware resources within an enterprise, the method comprising the acts of installing at least one software application on the one or more hardware resources, orienting one or more logical areas within the one or more hardware resources, implementing one or more communication protocols between the one or more logical areas, and generating infrastructure for the at least one software application during the act of installing, wherein the infrastructure is based on predetermined choices.
Claims20
A method of configuring one or more hardware resources within an enterprise, the method comprising the acts of:
- installing at least one software application on the one or more hardware resources;
- orienting one or more logical areas within the one or more hardware resources;
- implementing one or more communication protocols between the one or more logical areas;
- and
- generating infrastructure for the at least one software application during the act of installing, wherein the infrastructure is based on predetermined choices.
A method of automatically generating a software application, comprising the acts of:
- determining the logical orientation of one or more elements of a computer system to which the software will be installed;
- consulting at least one parameter related to a communication protocol that is to be implemented between the one or more elements;
- determining whether any of the one or more elements will be nested;
- and
- in the event that one or more elements will be nested, repeating the act of determining the logical orientation and the act of consulting the at least one parameter.
A computer system implemented within an enterprise, the computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more storage devices, the storage devices including executable code and one or more parameters;
- wherein the executable code is capable of provisioning the computer system into a plurality of logical areas as the computer system is initially configured within the enterprise.
