PREDICT NEW SYSTEM STATUS BASED ON STATUS CHANGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17453712 titled 'PREDICT NEW SYSTEM STATUS BASED ON STATUS CHANGES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for predicting the impact of an intervention on managed computing resources using an automation management system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves two automation management systems, one being a functional duplicate of the other.
  • Initial state data of the first system is sent to the second system.
  • A status change command and its expected response vector (result of the intervention) are sent to the second system.
  • The second system predicts the response vector of the managed computing resources based on the received command.
  • The second system responds with the predicted response vector and a set of predicted actions derived from it.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Predicting the impact of software updates or patches on computing resources.
  • Assessing the effects of configuration changes on system performance.
  • Evaluating the consequences of adding or removing hardware components.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Uncertainty in the outcome of system interventions.
  • Difficulty in predicting the impact of changes on managed computing resources.
  • Lack of a reliable method to assess the consequences of system modifications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved decision-making regarding system interventions.
  • Minimized risks associated with changes to computing resources.
  • Enhanced efficiency in managing and optimizing system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method for predicting an effect of an intervention on managed computing resources using a first system automation management system, comprising an automated operations controller and at least one automation agent is disclosed. The method comprises sending initial state data of the first system automation management system to a second system automation management system which is a functional duplicate of the first system automation management system, sending a status change command and a related expected response vector, equivalent to a result of the intervention to the second system automation management system, determining, by the second system automation management system, a predicted response vector of the managed computing resources in response to the received status change command, and responding, by the second system automation management system, with the determined response vector and a set of predicted actions derived therefrom.
