Abstract
Presented herein are methodologies for implementing a system and apparatus to estimate a network disruption index and undertake a mitigation action accordingly. A method includes calculating a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network, comparing the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold, and when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identifying one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implementing the mitigation action.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- calculating a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network;
- comparing the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold;
- and
- when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identifying one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implementing the mitigation action.
A device comprising:
- an interface unit configured to enable network communications;
- a memory;
- and one or more processors coupled to the interface unit and the memory, and configured to:
- calculate a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network;
- compare the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold;
- and
- when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identify one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implement the mitigation action.
A non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- calculate a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network;
- compare the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold;
- and
- when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identify one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implement the mitigation action.
