  • Lock-lease management of hardware and software maintenance, deployment, and optimization operations using effective application availaility
    Patent number: 11803362
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, the concept of effective application availability is introduced. In a data center, there may be a minimum amount of a particular resource that is needed to continue proper functioning of an application. This may be termed a safe application availability limit. The safe application availability limit may be obtained or determined using a safe application availability limit rule. An effective application availability may be calculated by taking a current application availability and subtracting it by an availability loss from a requested operation. The effective application availability may then be compared to the safe application availability limit in order to determine whether to permit the operation to be performed at the requested time, or whether to request that the operation be attempted again at some later time.
