Reliable and resilient end-to-end connectivity for heterogeneous networks

A heterogeneous network data processing system configured for resilient and reliable end-to-end connectivity, the system comprising:

• first and second different communications networks of differing network types;
• a network resource manager abstracting the communications networks as manageable resources;
• and,
• end-to-end communications monitoring and remediation logic comprising program code enabled to bind an application endpoint with a connectivity endpoint for the first communications network, to detect an outage in the first communications network, and to re-bind the application endpoint to the second communications network in response to detecting the outage.

A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium embodying computer usable program code for resilient and reliable end-to-end connectivity in a heterogeneous network environment, the computer program product comprising:

• computer usable program code for creating an instance of an abstracted network resource model (NRM) for a heterogeneous network environment of different network resource nodes;
• computer usable program code for binding an application endpoint in the instance of the abstracted NRM with a connectivity endpoint for a first of the different network resource nodes;
• computer usable program code for detecting an outage in the first of the different network resource nodes;
• and,
• computer usable program code for re-binding the application endpoint to a second of the different network resource nodes in response to detecting the outage.
