Patent Images
1. Apparatus for reducing infrastructure failure rates, the apparatus comprising:
- machine readable memory configured to store a data object that includes;
an infrastructure change identifier;
a device identifier that identifies a device that is associated with the change; and
an application identifier that identifies a program that is associated with the change; and
a processor that is configured to provide an index that is based on the infrastructure change identifier, the device identifier and the application identifier, the index corresponding to a predicted failure rate.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods for reducing infrastructure failure rates. The apparatus and methods may compile and store data related to the physical devices and applications associated with an infrastructure change. Variables may be derived from the stored data using a range of methods and multiple variable values may be consolidated. A model may be developed based on the values and relationships of the derived variables. The model may be applied to assess the risk of a prospective infrastructure change.

8. A computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for reducing infrastructure failure rates, said method comprising:
-
receiving an infrastructure change identifier, and including the infrastructure change identifier in a data object stored in machine readable memory; receiving a device identifier that identifies a device that is associated with the change and including the device identifier in the data object; receiving an application identifier that identifies a program that is associated with the change and including the application identifier in the data object; and using a processor, calculating an index that is based on the infrastructure change identifier, the device identifier and the application identifier, the index corresponding to a predicted failure rate. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
