Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: obtaining hardware performance information concerning hardware deployed within a computing platform; obtaining platform performance information concerning the operation of the computing platform; obtaining application performance information concerning one or more applications deployed within the computing platform; and generating a holistic platform report concerning the computing platform based, at least in part, upon the hardware performance information, the platform performance information and the application performance information.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:
- obtaining hardware performance information concerning hardware deployed within a computing platform, wherein the hardware performance information is continuously obtained;
- obtaining platform performance information concerning the operation of the computing platform, wherein the platform performance information is continuously obtained, including:
- obtaining system-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from an independent information source, the system-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems present on the computing platform;
- obtaining client-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from a client information source, the client-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems that the client believes are present on the computing platform;
- obtaining application performance information concerning one or more applications deployed within the computing platform, wherein the application performance information is continuously obtained;
- and generating a holistic platform report concerning the computing platform based, at least in part, upon the continuously obtained hardware performance information, the platform performance information and the application performance information;
- and
- wherein the holistic platform report identifies one or more known conditions concerning the computing platform, the computer-implemented method further comprising:
- effectuating one or more remedial operations concerning the one or more known conditions.
A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining hardware performance information concerning hardware deployed within a computing platform, wherein the hardware performance information is continuously obtained;
- obtaining platform performance information concerning the operation of the computing platform, wherein the platform performance information is continuously obtained, including:
- obtaining system-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from an independent information source, the system-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems present on the computing platform;
- obtaining client-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from a client information source, the client-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems that the client believes are present on the computing platform;
- obtaining application performance information concerning one or more applications deployed within the computing platform, wherein the application performance information is continuously obtained;
- and generating a holistic platform report concerning the computing platform based, at least in part, upon the continuously obtained hardware performance information, the platform performance information and the application performance information;
- and
- wherein the holistic platform report identifies one or more known conditions concerning the computing platform, the computer-implemented method further comprising:
- effectuating one or more remedial operations concerning the one or more known conditions.
A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining hardware performance information concerning hardware deployed within a computing platform, wherein the hardware performance information is continuously obtained;
- obtaining platform performance information concerning the operation of the computing platform, wherein the platform performance information is continuously obtained, including:
- obtaining system-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from an independent information source, the system-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems present on the computing platform;
- obtaining client-defined consolidated platform information for the computing platform from a client information source, the client-defined consolidated platform information defining the security-relevant subsystems that the client believes are present on the computing platform;
- obtaining application performance information concerning one or more applications deployed within the computing platform, wherein the application performance information is continuously obtained;
- and generating a holistic platform report concerning the computing platform based, at least in part, upon the continuously obtained hardware performance information, the platform performance information and the application performance information;
- and
- wherein the holistic platform report identifies one or more known conditions concerning the computing platform, the computer-implemented method further comprising:
- effectuating one or more remedial operations concerning the one or more known conditions.
