1. A method comprising:
- computing, by at least one computing device, an actual application impact based on an “
N”
number of failing information technology (IT) infrastructure components within an application architecture;
determining, by the at least one computing device, a factor in likelihood of failure of the “
N”
number of IT infrastructure components; and
determining, by the at least one computing device, a failure profile for the application architecture based on the actual application impact and the factor in likelihood of failure,wherein the determining the failure profile includes calculating a chance of failure average for the “
N”
number of failing IT infrastructure components and a product failure average for the “
N”
number of failing IT infrastructure components, andwherein the “
N”
number of failing IT infrastructure components include application components that include feed servers, web load balanced servers, and application servers,wherein the computing of the actual application impact includes analyzing a vertical application layer and calculating throughput volume in the vertical application layer, andwherein the calculating the throughput volume in the vertical application layer comprises subtracting a product of a previous layer throughput volume and a current level fail percentage from the previous layer throughput volume.

Abstract
An approach to an optimal application configuration. The approach includes a method that includes computing, by at least one computing device, an actual application impact based on an “N” number of failing information technology (IT) infrastructure components within an application architecture. The method includes determining, by the at least one computing device, a factor in likelihood of failure of the “N” number of IT infrastructure components. The method includes determining, by the at least one computing device, a failure profile for the application architecture based on the actual application impact and the factor in likelihood of failure.
