Integrated infrastructure graphs

摘要

Various features are described for generating and analyzing data center topology graphs. The graphs can represent physical placement and connectivity of data center components. In some cases the graphs may include hierarchical representations of data center components and systems, and may also include environmental and operational characteristics of the computing devices and supporting systems which may be included in a data center. In addition, the graphs may be linked to each other though common components, so that data center topology may be analyzed in two or more dimensions rather than a single dimension. The linked graphs may be analyzed to identify potential points of failure and also to identify which data center components may be affected by a failure.

主权项

1. A system for analyzing data center components, the system comprising:
one or more processors; a computer-readable memory; and a module comprising executable instructions stored in the computer-readable memory, the module, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to:
retrieve, from a data store, a plurality of data records regarding physical and operational characteristics of a plurality of computing devices;generate a first graph representing a relationship among a first set of computing devices, the relationship based at least partly on a physical or operational characteristic of each of the first set of computing devices;generate a second graph representing a relationship among a second set of computing devices, the relationship based at least partly on a physical or operational characteristic of each of the second set of computing devices;link the first graph and the second graph based at least partly on a presence, in each of first set of computing devices and the second set of computing devices, of a common computing device; andin response to a query regarding a queried computing device, identify a third set of computing devices related to the queried computing devices based at least partly on the relationship represented by the first graph and the relationship represented by the second graph.
