Systems and methods for managing resources in an information technology (IT) infrastructure

A system for managing resources in an IT infrastructure, the system comprising:

• a server comprising a memory and a computer processor;
• a database comprising an identification of a plurality of IT infrastructure resources for an organization;
• a graphing engine;
• a graphical analysis engine;
• and
• a decision engine;
• wherein:
• the server retrieves, from a database, the identification of the plurality of IT infrastructure resources for the organization, wherein each of the IT infrastructure resources is registered with an infrastructure management server upon the IT infrastructure resource being onboarded or commissioned;
• the server retrieves at least one attribute for each IT infrastructure resource, wherein the at least one attribute comprises a policy and a regulatory restriction on the IT infrastructure resource wherein the regulatory restriction is based on a jurisdiction associated with a geographic location of the IT infrastructure resource;
• the graphing engine graphs an IT infrastructure for the organization by illustrating a relation of each IT infrastructure resource to at least one other IT infrastructure resource, wherein the graphing engine graphs by linking the attributes for at least one IT infrastructure resource, wherein the graph engine further identifies one or more disconnected graphs;
• the graphing engines determines that the one or more disconnected graphs do not include information regarding all parties that utilize the at least one IT infrastructure resource, and wherein the one or more disconnected graphs have a value that represents a utilization;
• the graphical analysis engine analyzes the relation of each IT infrastructure resource and the linked attributes of the graph to identify a potential IT infrastructure resource for removal from the IT infrastructure for the organization, wherein the graph includes all dependencies that are validated by a script wherein the potential IT infrastructure resource for removal is a disconnected IT infrastructure resource with an utilization below a predetermined threshold;
• a cost analysis engine performs a cost analysis to isolate costs associated with the removal of the potential IT infrastructure resource for removal wherein the analysis includes determining the cost of decommissioning/removal versus the cost of maintaining the resource in the current infrastructure;
• the decision engine recommends removal or maintenance of the potential IT infrastructure resource;
• and
• performing a decommissioning script comprising migrating data from the potential IT infrastructure resource to a different IT infrastructure resource.
