Abstract
A method and system for health rank based virtual machine restoration using a conformal framework. With respect to enterprise data protection, solutions need to address two primary responsibilities: at the onset of failure or disaster, restore any running applications, as well as any lost or damaged data; and minimize (if not eliminate) the future occurrence of such failures or disasters. In tackling the latter responsibility, the disclosed method and system leverage health-score assessments to ensure the restoration of virtual machines onto healthy infrastructure. The aforementioned health-score assessments employ clustering to identify, and a conformal framework to rank, healthy hosts onto which virtual machines may be restored.
