CALCULATING THE EFFECT OF AN ACTION IN A NETWORK

摘要

A method for calculating the effect of an action on a network includes creating a mapping of a plurality of devices of a networked computing environment. In one embodiment, the mapping describes a relationship between a primary device and at least one device of the plurality of devices. In another embodiment, the method includes determining a plurality of potential actions to be performed on the primary device. In a further embodiment, the method includes calculating an effect of a potential action of the plurality of potential actions on the plurality of devices in response to simulating performing the potential action on the primary device. In yet another embodiment, the method includes performing an optimization action in response to calculating the effect of the potential action. In certain embodiments, the optimization action maximizes availability of the networked computing environment.
