AUTONOMOUS SERVER PROTECTION SYSTEM

Abstract:

A system and method executed by a computer server include determination that the computer server has lost network connectivity and, in response to the determination that the computer server has lost network connectivity, disabling of power to a volatile memory of the computer server. Determining that the computer server has lost network connectivity may include transmission of data to an external system and determination that a response to the data was not received from the external system. Disabling of power to the volatile memory may include transmission of a request to an operating system of the system to initiate a power-down sequence of the system.
