    Patent number: 7206976
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for managing exposure to failure for computer-based systems. Information about a computer-based system is asynchronously received. An exposure level to failure of the computer-based system is calculated based on the received information. A stability of the computer-based system is determined based on the exposure level. A stability indication is output responsive to the determined stability.
