Abstract

See full text

A computer determines the cost and risk of assets. The computer analyzes an asset signature, associated with an asset representing a fundamental structural unit of an information technology environment, to determine that the asset is in a non-normal state. The computer determines the cost of the asset by evaluating a price formula associated with the asset signature of the asset, and the computer determines the risk of the asset by evaluating a risk formula associated with the asset signature of the asset. The computer maintains a configuration item for the asset, indicating the state, the risk, and the cost of the asset. One or both of the risk and the cost of the asset are used to determine the priority of recovering the asset.
