Abstract
A technique for verifying the safety of tenant data in a data center includes creating a topological map of storage constructs used for storing the tenant data within the data center. The topological map includes a logical storage device, a physical storage device, and a set of hardware structures disposed between the logical and physical storage devices. The constructs of the topological map are evaluated to generate an individual assessment of fault tolerance of each construct, and a set of rules are applied to generate an overall assessment of the safety of the tenant data. In an example, an administrator may operate this technique on a tenant application and generate a report for the tenant summarizing the results.
