ABSTRACT:
A multitier topology map describes a multitier compute infrastructure. The multitier topology map identifies components from at least two different tiers of the multitier compute infrastructure and indicates relationships between components including at least one cross-tier relationship between components. An interface module accesses the multitier topology map.
