Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and system for single point of failure analysis (SPOF) and remediation. According to one embodiment, a SPOF analysis is performed based on component configuration information associated with a plurality of system components. Based on the SPOF analysis, at least one SPOF component is identified. In addition, remediation information for the identified SPOF is computed based on the component configuration information. The result of the SPOF analysis and the remediation information are then displayed to an operating user.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for single point of failure (SPOF) analysis and remediation, the method comprising:
- performing a SPOF analysis based on configuration information of a plurality of system components;
- identifying, based on the SPOF analysis, at least one SPOF component from the plurality of system components;
- and
- determining remediation information for the at least one SPOF component based on SPOF analysis and configuration information;
- and
- displaying results of the SPOF analysis and the remediation information to the operating user.
A system for single point of failure (SPOF) analysis and remediation, the system comprising:
- a SPOF engine configured to receive input data factors and configuration information associated with a plurality of system components, wherein the SPOF engine performs a SPOF analysis based on configuration information of a plurality of system components;
- and
- a SPOF database analysis configured to store SPOF analysis information from the SPOF engine,
- wherein at least one remediation option for an identified SPOF component is determined in response to the SPOF analysis;
- and
- wherein results of the SPOF analysis and the at least one remediation option are displayed to an operating user.
A computer readable storage medium having stored executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- receive, via an operating user, a scope definition for a SPOF analysis;
- retrieve, via a processor associated with a SPOF engine, configuration information relating to components within the defined scope of the SPOF analysis;
- allocate, via a decomposition module associated with a SPOF engine, the plurality of components into separate logical units based on predefined rules;
- assess, via a reliability module associated with a SPOF engine, a reliability rating of each component within the logical unit;
- identify, via a dependency module associated with a SPOF engine, a dependability level of the plurality of components based on the reliability rating so as to determine at least one SPOF component having a dependability level below a predetermined threshold;
- analyze, via a remediation module associated with a SPOF engine, configuration information of affected components associated with the SPOF component so as to compute at least one remediation suggestion for the at least one SPOF component;
- display, via the processor and graphical user interface, a notification relating to at least one SPOF component and at least one remediation suggestion for said component to the operating user.
