  • System for inferring dependencies among computing systems
    Patent number: 10333820
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for identifying, tracking, and customizing dependencies between components of a computing environment. By providing greater insight and transparency into dependencies, the systems and methods can facilitate modeling the underlying architecture of applications and computer hardware. As a result, IT personnel can better track relationships between components. Custom filtering tools can also provide IT personnel with tools to switch from different types of dependency views that focus on application-oriented views, hardware-oriented views, or other custom views. Model annotation tools can also enable IT personnel to customize a dependency model to reflect real-world application and hardware monitoring conditions.
    Type: Grant
