ORGANIZATION RESOURCE ALLOCATION BASED ON FORECASTED CHANGE OUTCOMES

摘要

Apparatus and methods for reducing infrastructure failure rates. The apparatus and methods may compile and store data related to the physical devices and applications associated with an infrastructure change. Variables may be derived from the stored data using a range of methods and multiple variable values may be consolidated. A model may be developed based on the values and relationships of the derived variables. The model may be applied to assess the risk of a prospective infrastructure change. The risk may include an index that corresponds to the likelihood that the infrastructure change will lead to a failure. The model may predict the magnitude of a failure should the infrastructure change fail. The model may predict the expected failure impact based on the index and the failure magnitude.
