1. A computer-implementable method for performing a data center monitoring and management operation, comprising:
identifying a plurality of asset resources within a data center;
monitoring workloads within the data center, the monitoring providing data center workload data, the data center workload data including asset resource utilization data;
maintaining an inventory of available asset resources from the plurality of asset resources within the data center;
determining whether certain asset resources of the plurality of asset resources within the data center are underutilized based upon the asset resource utilization data;
presenting a load balance configurator user interface, the load balance configurator user interface enabling allocation of asset resources to target workloads, the allocation of asset resources to target resources load balancing the plurality of asset resources with a plurality of associated workloads, the allocation of asset resources to target resources taking into account the inventory of available asset resources, the load balance configurator user interface comprising a load balance configuration window, the load balance configuration window comprising a load balance configuration sub-window and a workload balance priority sub-window; and,
performing a data center asset allocation operation, the data center asset allocation operation reallocating workloads to particular asset resources from the plurality of asset resources in response to the allocation of asset resources to target workloads.
