US 2021/0342210 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING RESILIENCE IN IT ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and method for supporting application resilience. The objective is to engineer fault awareness and recovery capabilities in an application. The system provides a structured, repeatable and comprehensive approach for addressing resilience of IT systems. Further, it proposes a well-defined set of activities and specifies output for each phase which when integrated into regular SDLC will help systematically build resilience into enterprise applications. The system further optimizes the effort involved using a vulnerability based scoring mechanism that provides the right level of engineering needed based on the applications susceptibility to failures and the impact to the customer's business activities.

Dependent claims

1) A system for application resilience in a computing environment, comprising:

an analysis module configured to:
assess inadequacies of the application executing in the computing environment based on predetermined parameters,
compute a fault risk index for each of the inadequacy based on a vulnerability score and probability of failure, and
prioritize the inadequacies based on the fault risk index and associated constraints;
an engineering module configured to construct and embed design patterns in the system for addressing the prioritized inadequacies;
and
a validation module configured to validate the design patterns effectiveness in addressing the prioritized inadequacies against a quantifiable expectation defined for the application.
