CloudPhysics is a SaaS-based big-data analytics platform for virtualized IT infrastructure, founded in 2011 and acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2021. Deployed as the CloudPhysics Observer virtual appliance against VMware vSphere / vCenter, it collects IT metadata and delivers data-driven insights for capacity planning, cost optimization, migration assessment, and infrastructure health. It is now part of HPE; cloudphysics.com redirects to HPE storage. CloudPhysics exposes no public developer API of its own — the product consumes the VMware vCenter API to gather metadata rather than publishing a developer-facing API, so this profile carries identity and domain-security signal only.
CloudPhysics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Analytics, Virtualization, and VMware.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cloudphysics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
