US Patent 9684527 Classification and validation system and method for an integrated computing system

An integrated computing system configuration system includes a computing system that executes an engine to receive component specifications for each of one or more components supplied by a plurality of suppliers, and receive user input for selecting a subset of the component specifications to be implemented in a customized integrated computing system by generating a base configuration that comprises the component specifications of the subset of the components. From the received component specifications and user input, the engine may generate a component classification for each component specification according to its functionality, validate each component classification according to one or more other component specifications in the subset of components, and display the validated components for each component on a display.
