  • Analysis of failures in a computing environment
    Patent number: 5790780
    Abstract: A system (10) is provided for analyzing failures arising in computing environments. The system (10) includes an interface (12) which receives information relating to a current failure in a computing environment. A database (18) stores information relating to at least one prior failure in the same computing environment or another computing environment. A processor (22), which is coupled to the interface (12) and the database (18), compares the received information relating to the current failure with the stored information relating to the prior failure in order to find similarities. The processor (22) may then instruct a user to take appropriate action in response to similarities between the current failure and the prior failure, thereby analyzing the failures.
