Abstract
A system for facilitating examination of conditions across physical machines using augmented reality generates an overlay of information about application structure across physical systems, such as physical systems located within a data center. Additionally, the system for facilitating examination of application structure across physical machines using augmented reality overlays this information about application structure using imaging captured through a camera, such as a camera associated with a tablet type or smart phone type computing device.
Claims7
A method for facilitating examination of conditions across physical machines comprising:
- defining presentation of software stacks executing on physical hardware in a data processing system environment;
- defining presentation of information regarding a physical installed hardware environment of the data processing system environment;
- obtaining information in real time about the physical hardware in the data processing system environment while in proximity with the physical hardware;
- identifying the physical hardware based upon the information about the physical hardware;
- and,
- obtaining condition information regarding physical hardware based upon the identifying.
