METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERGED ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION, VIRTUALIZATION, AND CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES USING GRAPH THEORY AND STATISTICAL CLASSIFICATION

摘要

Embodiments of the innovation relate to a method and apparatus for utilizing graph theory and clustering analysis to build relationships among applications and corresponding and/or dependent virtualization, cloud and datacenter infrastructure components and to derive the definition of application boundaries and corresponding infrastructure components. This allows a system administrator to manage and address complex issues within a computer infrastructure, such as availability, service level deliverable/guarantees, performance, and resource optimization.
