TOPOLOGICAL VIEW AND INSIGHTS OF ORGANIZATION INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT BASED ON BARE-METAL RECOVERY AND SYSTEM-STATE RECOVERY DATA AND METADATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17726873 Titled 'TOPOLOGICAL VIEW AND INSIGHTS OF ORGANIZATION INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT BASED ON BARE-METAL RECOVERY AND SYSTEM-STATE RECOVERY DATA AND METADATA'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method and system for creating a visual representation of an organization's IT environment using data and information from bare-metal recovery and system-state recovery processes. The IT environment includes network resources and active directory services that organize and manage these resources. The active directory services gather information that can be used to create a visual representation of the network resources throughout the organization. By leveraging this information and backup operation metadata, an organization metadata tree can be constructed. This metadata tree can then be used to answer queries about file-system object generation, distribution, and usage within the organization.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and system for implementing a topological view and insights of organization information technology (IT) environments based on bare-metal recovery and/or system-state recovery data and metadata. Often, one or many IT environment(s), affiliated with an organization, include various network resources, as well active directory service(s) for organizing, locating, and managing said network resources. Active directory service(s) may further gather and provide information pertinent to modeling a topological view of said network resources throughout the organization. Leveraging said information gleaned from any active directory service(s), as well as backup operation metadata generated during or following backup operations targeting workloads and their respective data, which support bare-metal and/or system-state recoveries, embodiments disclosed herein propose the construction of an organization metadata tree. Once rendered, the organization metadata tree may be leveraged itself to process queries concerning, for example, file-system object generation, distribution, and/or usage respective to any tier or granularity of the organization.
