Abstract
Systems and methods for handling resources in a computer system differently in certain situations, such as catastrophic events, based upon an assigned layer of the resource to the system. The layer can be based, for example, on criticality of the resource to the system. Services or computing device resources can be physically segregated in accordance with layers and can be managed in accordance with the segregation. In response to receiving information about an event, the different layers can be handled in accordance with their criticality, for example by shutting some of the resources down and/or slowing some of the resources down.
