RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A resource management system for managing resources in a computing and/or communications resource infrastructure is disclosed. The system comprises a database for storing a model of the resource infrastructure. The database defines a set of resources provided by the infrastructure; a set of software applications operating within the infrastructure and utilising resources; and associations between given applications in the model and given resources to indicate utilisation of the given resources by the given applications. The model can be used to perform resource utilisation analysis and failure impact analysis.
