Coordinating the monitoring, management, and prediction of unintended changes within a grid environment

A computer-implemented system for coordinating recovery from unintended change within a grid environment, comprising:

• a grid change controller executing within a grid environment, wherein said grid environment comprises a plurality of resources, wherein management of each of said plurality of resources is distributed among one from among a plurality of disparate resource managers;
• said grid change controller further comprising:
• means for detecting an unintended change within said grid environment based on potential change indicators received from said plurality of resource managers;
• means for determining a necessary response to said unintended change within said grid environment;
• and
• means for communicating with at least one independent manager from among a plurality of independent managers available within said grid environment to resolve said unintended change, wherein said grid change controller communicates with said at least one independent manager to facilitate recovery from said unintended change within said grid environment to maintain performance requirements within said grid environment.

A computer program product, residing on a computer readable medium, for coordinating recovery from unintended change within a grid environment, comprising:

• means for detecting an unintended change within a grid environment by analyzing potential change indicators received from a plurality of resource managers across said grid environment, wherein each of said plurality of resource managers manages one from among a plurality of selections of resources within said grid environment;
• means for determining a necessary response to said unintended change within said grid environment;
• and
• means for communicating with at least one from among a plurality of independent managers available within said grid environment to resolve said unintended change.
