  • Automated discovery of a multitier compute infrastructure
    Patent number: 7962590
    Abstract: A topology of a multitier compute infrastructure is automatically discovered. Discovery can be roughly divided into two phases. In one phase, components and physical relationships are discovered. In the other phase, non-physical relationships between the components are deduced. The second phase typically is based in part on information obtained in the first phase. In one application, the components and relationships that are discovered/deduced are used to build a map of the multitier compute infrastructure.

  • Topology mapping of a mulitier compute infrastructure
    Patent number: 7912873
    Abstract: A multitier topology map describes a multitier compute infrastructure. The multitier topology map identifies components from at least two different tiers of the multitier compute infrastructure and indicates relationships between components including at least one cross-tier relationship between components. An interface module accesses the multitier topology map.
