1. A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising:
identifying a plurality of data center assets within a data center, the plurality of data center assets being implemented to work in combination with one another for a particular purpose;
monitoring, via a data center monitoring and management console, usage of the plurality of data center assets within the data center;
generating data center asset profile data based upon the monitoring;
identifying a plurality of asset configurations related to the asset profile data;
ranking the plurality of asset configurations based upon the data center asset profile data;
generating a recommended asset configuration recommendation based upon the ranking; and,
using information associated with each of the plurality of asset configurations and the ranking of the plurality of asset configurations to generate a customer asset graph for a particular customer, the information associated with each of the plurality of asset configurations comprising workload operational and data tier usage data, customer data center asset selection criteria, data center asset statistical analysis and customer ranking and weighting data, the customer asset graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, each of the plurality of nodes representing one or more of a data center asset associated with a customer data center, a proposed data center asset and a candidate data center asset, each of the plurality of edges representing candidate data center asset weighting values.
