SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING HISTORIC EVENT ROOT CAUSE AND IMPACT IN A DATA CENTER

摘要

Systems, methods, architectures and/or apparatus for determining a historic hierarchy of failure relationships associated with a historic event of interest and identifying, for the historic moment in time, higher-level objects/entities within a data center which, when failed, necessarily produce failure of corresponding lower-level objects/entities. This information is especially useful within the context of identifying root cause failures associated with a historic event of interest, as well as the impact of the historic event of interest upon other objects/entities.
