Accessing multiple converged it infrastructures

A Converged IT Infrastructure (CITI), comprising:

• a set of network switches;
• a set of compute servers;
• a set of storage arrays;
• a set of processors;
• and
• memory, coupled to the set of processors, the memory storing executable instructions, which when executed by the set of processors cause the set of processors to:
• receive a first request, from a client, the first request requesting CITI-specific information about a second CITI, the CITI-specific information pertaining to at least one of a network switch, a compute server, and a storage array of the second CITI;
• send a second request, to the second CITI over a network and in response to receipt of the first request, the second request requesting the CITI-specific information from the second CITI;
• receive, over the network and in response to the second request, the CITI-specific information about the second CITI;
• and
• return the CITI-specific information received from the second CITI to the client.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions which, when executed by a set of processors, cause the set of processors to perform a method of communicating among multiple Converged IT Infrastructures (CITIs), the CITIs each including one or more network switches, compute servers, and storage arrays, the method comprising:

• receiving a first request, from a client by a first CITI, the first request requesting CITI-specific information about a second CITI, the CITI-specific information pertaining to at least one of a network switch, a compute server, and a storage array of the second CITI;
• sending a second request, by the first CITI to the second CITI over a network and in response to receiving the first request, the second request requesting the CITI-specific information from the second CITI;
• receiving, by the first CITI over the network and in response to the second request, the CITI-specific information about the second CITI;
• and
• returning the CITI-specific information received from the second CITI to the client.
