Method and Apparatus for Workflow Based High Availability Analysis
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing an information network infrastructure to identify at least one availability weak point, the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting a workflow specification based on one or more user-visible processes and an application topology;
mapping service workflows associated with the specification from the application topology to the infrastructure to generate a workflow data structure;
performing an availability weak point analysis in accordance with the workflow data structure to determine one or more optimal high availability parameters for one or more deployed components of the infrastructure; and
applying the one or more optimal high availability parameters in the infrastructure so as to substantially eliminate one or more availability weak points in the one or more user-visible processes.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for workflow based high availability analysis in computing systems. For example, a computer-implemented method for analyzing an information network infrastructure to identify one or more availability weak points includes the following steps. A workflow specification is provided based on one or more user-visible processes and an application topology. Service workflows associated with the specification are mapped from the application topology to the infrastructure to generate a workflow data structure. An availability weak point analysis is performed in accordance with the workflow data structure to determine one or more optimal high availability parameters for one or more deployed components of the infrastructure. The one or more optimal high availability parameters are applied in the infrastructure so as to substantially eliminate the one or more availability weak points.
