Monitoring client information in a shared environment
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring client information within a shared environment, the method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more computer processors, a first physical location of a server computer, the server computer providing computing resources to a client within a shared environment;
collecting, by the one or more computer processors, information associated with the client, wherein collected information includes computing resources of the server computer provided to the client;
creating, by the one or more computer processors, a logical map showing the identified first physical location of the server computer and the collected information associated with the client, wherein the logical map provides the client with a real time view of a shared data environment of the client with respect to a shared infrastructure environment;
identifying, by the one or more computer processors, a current physical location of the server computer;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether the current physical location of the server computer is different than the first physical location of the server computer identified on the created logical map;
in response to determining the current physical location of the server computer is different than the first physical location of the server computer identified on the created logical map,determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether the current physical location is a verified physical location for the server computer, wherein the verified physical location includes at least an authorized movement of the server computer; and
responsive to determining the current physical location is not a verified physical location, generating, by the one or more computer processors, an alert indicating the current physical location is different than the first physical location of the server computer identified on the created logical map.

Abstract
A method for monitoring client information within a shared environment. The method includes identifying a first physical location of a server computer, the server computer providing computing resources to a client within a shared environment, and collecting information associated with the client, the information including computing resources of the server computer provided to the client. The method includes creating a map showing the first physical location of the server computer and the collected information associated with the client. The method includes identifying a current physical location of the server computer and determining whether the current location is different than the first location. The method then, in response to determining the current location is different than the first location, includes updating the map with the identified current physical location of the server computer.
