PROACTIVE PREVENTION OF DATA UNAVAILABILITY AND DATA LOSS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660737 Titled 'PROACTIVE PREVENTION OF DATA UNAVAILABILITY AND DATA LOSS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a system that can maintain a record of prohibited computer operations. This information is accessible to different computing clusters within a group of clusters, but it is stored separately from them. The system allows a first computing cluster to obtain this information through a service. When a request to perform an operation on a computer within the first cluster is received, the system checks the prohibited operations information. If the operation is prohibited, it prevents it from happening. If the operation is not prohibited, it allows it to occur.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system can maintain information indicative of prohibited computer operations, wherein the information is accessible to respective computing clusters of a group of computing clusters, and wherein the information is stored separately from the group of computing clusters. The system can obtain, by a service of a first computing cluster of the group of computing clusters, the information. The system can, in response to receiving, at the first computing cluster, a request to perform an operation on a first computer of the first computing cluster, in response to determining, based on the information, that the operation is prohibited, prevent the operation from occurring; and, in response to determining, based on the information, that the operation is not prohibited, permit the operation to occur.
