ABSTRACT:
A method, system, API, GUI, and computer readable media for managing object-based clusters is provided. The method provides a computer executable methodology for discovering, monitoring, and managing object-based clusters. The system provides a computer-based system for facilitating interactions with heterogeneous cluster solutions. The system includes computer components for detecting clusters and supervising detected clusters and/or components.
