TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING FAULT TOLERANCE VALIDATION FOR A DATA CENTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18087074 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING FAULT TOLERANCE VALIDATION FOR A DATA CENTER
The abstract describes techniques for deploying a fault-tolerant data center by ensuring that the physical infrastructure meets specified fault tolerance levels and domains. Configuration information is gathered for various infrastructure resources, and a resource graph is generated to represent the logical layout of the data center. This graph is used to determine if the deployed infrastructure nodes meet the fault tolerance requirements. Results indicating the fault tolerance of the data center are then communicated to the user.

Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are described for deploying a fault tolerant data center by determining that the physical infrastructure deployment of the data center meets the fault tolerance levels and the fault domains specified for the data center. Techniques are described for obtaining configuration information related to various infrastructure resources deployed in a data center. A resource graph for the data center is generated based on the configuration information. The resource graph represents a logical representation of a set of vertices representing the physical and logical resources used to power a data center and a set of edges that connect the set of vertices. The resource graph is used to determine if a set of infrastructure nodes deployed in the data center meet the fault tolerance levels and fault domains specified for the data center. Results indicative of whether a deployed data center is fault tolerant are then transmitted to a user.
