Summary:The reliability of automated system management solutions will increase in importance as the use of cloud computing and data centres expands. As part of a study to improve reliability, this paper provides a classification of faults that can occur in automated system management and proposes a method for determining the severity of such faults. A baseline deployment is compared with an alternate proposed configuration to determine the difference in reliability. The results gained show a significant improvement over the baseline. While it is still in development, the method is able to determine and compare the reliability of deployment configurations from early in the design process.
