1. A method comprising the steps of:
- evaluating each of a plurality of predetermined criteria relating to capability for a computing environment to meet a specified uptime criteria;
identifying as a function of said evaluating step an action intended to improve said capability for said computing environment to meet said uptime criteria; and
implementing said action.

Abstract
A technique for addressing whether a computing environment is likely to meet an uptime criteria involves evaluating plural predetermined criteria, identifying an action based on the evaluation, and then implementing the action. A variation involves evaluating the predetermined criteria, and then generating a report with an assessment about the capability of the environment to meet the uptime criteria. Still another variation involves evaluating the predetermined criteria, determining a respective numerical value for each criteria, applying weights to the numerical values, and adding up at least some of the weighted values in order to obtain an assessment value.

11. A method comprising the steps of:
-
evaluating each of a plurality of predetermined criteria relating to capability for a computing environment to meet a specified uptime criteria, said evaluating step including the step of determining a respective numerical value for each said predetermined criteria;
introducing said numerical values into a computer program which includes a plurality of predetermined weights that each correspond to a respective said predetermined criteria;
causing said computer program to apply each said weight to the corresponding numerical value to obtain a plurality of weighted values; and
causing said computer program to calculate an assessment result that includes at least one assessment value which is a function of at least two of said weighted values. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

accept as input a plurality of numerical values that were each determined by evaluating a respective one of a plurality of predetermined criteria relating to capability for a computing environment to meet a specified uptime criteria;
maintain a plurality of predetermined weights which each correspond to a respective said predetermined criteria;
apply said predetermined weights to the corresponding numerical values to obtain a plurality of weighted values; and
calculate an assessment result having at least one assessment value which is a function of at least two of said weighted values. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
