Abstract
A method and system for classifying environment components within a computer system. The computer system includes an information management service for defining services to be provided to data objects residing in the computer system. One exemplary method identifies environment components, such as servers, storage locations, databases, applications, and the like, within the computer system. The service level capabilities of each of the environment components are then identified. The environment components are then classified in accordance with their identified service level capabilities. By categorizing the environment components in accordance with their service level capabilities, the service level objective requests of data objects residing in the system can efficiently be matched to the environment components that are capable of providing the requested services.
