STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE AUTOMATION IN DATABASE ADMINISTRATION
First Claim
1. A method for managing a plurality of data center environments embodied as a program of instructions executable by a machine wherein said program of instruction comprises a plurality of program codes, said program of instruction comprising:
- program code operable to determine state information of each of a plurality of data center environmentsprogram code operable to identify a change in the state information of each of the plurality of data center environments;
program code operable to compare the change in the state information of each of the plurality of data center environments against predefined criteria to predict sub optimal data center environment performance; and
responsive to predicting sub optimal performance in at least one data center environment program code operable to modify the at least one data center environment to prevent sub optimal data center environment performance.

Abstract
A plurality of modules and/or engines to manage the operation and health of a plurality of data center assets through the use of standard operating procedures (SOPs). Modules of the present invention are configured to assist IT Administrators to create, and thereafter store in an accessible memory resource, a plurality of SOPs. These SOPs define procedures to address various data center asset informational states. An asset'"'"'s state information is monitored, collected and analyzed to determine, based either on a predetermined rule set or on manual input from an authorized IT Administrator, whether one or more SOPs will be applied to a particular data center asset. These SOPs can be combined and/or executed on the asset either automatically or manually.
