Claim One:
1. A method for optimizing the deployment of application workloads in a converged infrastructure network environment, the method comprising: receiving, by a workload deployment server, an application workload for deployment into a network environment including a plurality of converged infrastructures; determining, by the workload deployment server, an overall deployment optimization score for each of the plurality of converged infrastructures, wherein determining the overall deployment optimization score includes utilizing performance metric data provided from deployment optimization client applications hosted in the plurality of converged infrastructures to the workload deployment server; determining a component optimization score for each of a plurality of compute components in a converged infrastructure belonging to the plurality of converged infrastructures that is associated with the highest overall deployment optimization score; and deploying the application workload to a compute component belonging to the plurality of compute components that is associated with the highest component optimization score.
