More Information
Summary:A system and method are provided for optimizing maintenance of a geographically distributed data processing system. The method comprises selecting a primary territory having associated operating hours, identifying maintenance hours that exclude the operating hours, and selecting a maintenance time within the available maintenance hours. The midpoint of the maintenance hours may be selected as the maintenance time, or activity distribution data may be analyzed to select a maintenance time corresponding to a low activity time.
