Abstract
Evaluating a plurality of computers hosting a cloud platform for effectiveness at operating through operational failures with minimal or no degradation to operations by identifying vulnerabilities in hardware, firmware, software and operational policy/plan aspects of the plurality of computers and managing the identified vulnerabilities by modifying hardware, firmware, software, and operational policy/plan aspects of the plurality of computers and the hosted cloud platform to improve effectiveness at operating through operational failures with minimal or no degradation to operations.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a time-date data set including information indicative of the time and date at which certain computer operations were performed in a set of server computer(s);
- receiving a machine logic based rules data set including a plurality of machine logic based rules;
- determining a resiliency value of the set of server computer(s) based upon an application of the plurality of machine logic based rules to the time-date data set, with the resiliency value corresponding to an ability of the set of server computer(s) to handle operations when some of the hardware, firmware and/or software of at least some of the set of server computer(s) fails;
- determining a recommended change to the hardware, firmware and/or software of the set of server computers based, at least in part, upon the resiliency value;
- and
- making the recommended change to the set of server computer(s).
A computer-implemented method comprising:

- receiving a machine logic based rules data set including a plurality of machine logic based rules;
- determining a resiliency value of the set of server computer(s) based upon an application of the plurality of machine logic based rules to the time-date data set, with the resiliency value corresponding to an ability of the set of server computer(s) to handle operations when some of the hardware, firmware and/or software of at least some of the set of server computer(s) fails;
- determining a recommended change to a disaster recovery plan for the set of server computer(s) based, at least in part, upon the resiliency value;
- and
- making the recommended disaster recovery plan change to the set of server computer(s).

- determining a recommended change to a high availability policy (HAP) for the set of server computer(s) based, at least in part, upon the resiliency value;
- and
- making the recommended HAP change to the set of server computer(s).
