Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Redundancy models are compared to determine or assist in determining an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration of a highly available system based on quantified service availability of the system. Each redundancy model defines assignments of service-instances to service-units. An analysis model of the system is constructed to capture recovery behaviors of the system for each redundancy model. Service availability of the system is quantified based on the analysis model under one or more scenarios including failure scenarios and recovery scenarios. Based on a comparison of service availability levels provided by the redundancy models and subject to constraints of the HA system, one of the redundancy models is identified that provides a required level of service availability for the system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for comparing a set of redundancy models to thereby determine or assist in determining an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration of a highly available (HA) system based on quantified service availability of the HA system, wherein each redundancy model defines assignments of a plurality of service-instances representing workload to a plurality of service-units representing resources, and wherein each service-unit re…
