Abstract
In at least some embodiments, an apparatus and method may receive parameters of an information technology (IT) infrastructure and formulate one or more IT recovery plans based on the parameters. The apparatus and method may further calculate a projected utility for one or more of the IT recovery plans based on one or more contractual agreements.
Claims29
A method, comprising:
- receiving parameters of an information technology (IT) infrastructure;
- formulating one or more IT recovery plans based on the parameters;
- and
- calculating a projected utility for one or more of the IT recovery plans based on one or more contractual agreements.
A system, comprising:
- contractual processing logic;
- and
- a contract data source configured to provide contract information associated with one or more contractual agreements to the contractual processing logic,
- wherein the contractual processing logic is configured to receive plans and scheduling options to correct a violation of the one or more contractual agreements and calculate a projected cost associated with implementing combinations of the plans and the scheduling options.
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a graphic user interface (GUI) coupled to the processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor,
- wherein the memory stores contract data and a contractual processing application that, when executed, causes the processor to calculate a projected utility of one or more information technology (IT) recovery plans based on the contract data and display the projected utility on the GUI.
A storage medium containing computer readable instructions that are executable by a computer and cause the computer to:
- calculate a projected cost of one or more IT recovery plans based on contractual service level agreements;
- and
- display the projected cost on a graphic user interface.
A system, comprising:
- means for determining a cause of at least one of an IT fault and a contractual violation;
- means for generating one or more recovery plans for each IT fault and contractual violation;
- and
- means for calculating a projected utility of the one or more recovery plans based on contractual agreements.
