Patent number: 9794153Abstract: Approaches are provided for determining a risk level for server health check processing. An approach includes creating statistical process control analyzes for each of one or more servers on a network by calculating performance parameters for each of one or more servers based on historical values for one or more key process indicators of server health or vulnerability. The approach further includes collecting new values for each of the one or more key process indicators, detecting significant changes of the mean or variation in each of the one or more key process indicators, and determining a risk level for each of the one or more servers based on a number of the significant changes of the mean or variation. The approach further includes providing a health check recommendation for each of the one or more servers based on the risk level determined for each of the one or more servers.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael H. Roehl, Howard N. Smallowitz, George E. Stark

Publication number: 20100287010Abstract: System, method and program product for prioritizing a multiplicity of management services which support physical disaster recovery operations. Criticality of each of the management services is determined. An urgency of recovery of each of the management services is determined. Respective numbers of services which support or depend on each of the management services is determined. A priority to perform each of the management services based on (a) the criticality of each management service, urgency of each management service and number of services which support or depend on each management service is determined. In one example, the priority to perform each management service is based on the criticality multiplied times the urgency multiplied times the number of services which support or depend on each management service.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Fronz F.
