Automated derivation, design and execution of industry-specific information environment

A computer system comprising:

• a central processing unit (CPU), a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media;
• first program instructions to select a candidate industry type to describe a customer's operations, wherein the candidate industry type has specific information environment requirements;
• second program instructions to select a set of information environment components that is specific to the candidate industry type;
• third program instructions to identify inherent constraints on the set of information environment components, wherein the inherent constraints are for the candidate industry type and the set of information environment components;
• fourth program instructions to recursively optimize the set of information environment components to create a set of optimized information environment components that meets the inherent constraints and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the candidate industry type;
• fifth program instructions to define a hierarchy of KPIs for the candidate industry type;
• sixth program instructions to predict access patterns to the optimized information environment components based on the hierarchy of KPIs of the candidate industry type, wherein higher ranked KPIs take precedence over relatively lower ranked KPIs in determining access priorities for accessing components in the set of optimized information environment components, and seventh program instructions to construct and deploy a physical information environment that comprises the set of optimized information environment components;
• and wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.

A computer program product for creating a physical information environment for a specific industry type, the computer program product comprising:
