  • Providing dynamic reliability and security in communications environments
    Patent number: 9300548
    Abstract: A dynamic reliability and security capability is provided. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to support use of a dynamic reliability profile (DRP) that specifies the reliability parameters of a customer both as function of time and as a function of the requirements of the application or service of the customer. The reliability parameters may specify reliability requirements and/or goals of the customer, thereby providing a time varying requirements/goals profile. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to dynamically configure the cloud resources to provide the required reliability as specified by the DRP. The RSG capability may be configured to subsequently monitor and meter the behavior to assure that the specified reliability is in fact being delivered, which may include use of self-healing capabilities to provide service assurance.
