System for managing an instructure with security

Abstract

A system for managing an infrastructure includes extraction engine is in communication with a managed infrastructure that includes physical hardware. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine (Non-negative matrix factorization), a k-means clustering engine (a method of vector quantization), and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the infrastructure. The signalizer engine uses graph coordinates and optionally a subset of attributes assigned to each event to generate one or more clusters to bring together events whose characteristics are similar. One or more interactive displays provide a collaborative interface coupled to the extraction and the signalizer engine with a collaborative interface (UI) for decomposing events from the infrastructure. The events are converted into words and subsets to group the events into clusters that relate to security of the managed infrastructure. In response to grouping the events physical changes are made to at least a portion of the physical hardware. In response to production of the clusters security of the managed infrastructure is maintained.
