Claim One:
1. A distributed black box system, comprising a plurality of data center enterprise black box (DEBB) systems, for providing comprehensive awareness, assuredness, and auditability of a plurality of activities with respect to a plurality of data centers to an enterprise by raising a plurality of alerts based on a plurality of model sequences, a plurality of model frequency measures, and a plurality of model occurrence factors, wherein a plurality of application and data assets of said enterprise are hosted by said plurality of data centers in a distributed manner, a DEBB system part of said distributed black box system is associated with a data center of said plurality of data centers, and said DEBB system provides a black box functionality for said enterprise by providing a single point of entry and exit for requests directed to said data center and by coordinating with a plurality of peer DEBB systems, wherein each of said peer DEBB systems is a part of said plurality of DEBB systems, said plurality of activities result in a plurality of transactions with respect to said plurality of data centers, said plurality of transactions result in a plurality of errors related to said plurality of data centers, said plurality of transactions result in a plurality of exceptions related to said plurality of data centers, said DEBB system including a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium storing computer readable program code for causing a computer to perform the steps of: determining an external transaction, wherein said external transaction is a transaction initiated by said enterprise and is a part of said plurality of transactions; determining an external transaction type of said external transaction; determining a sequence of internal transactions related to said external transaction, wherein each internal transaction of said sequence of internal transactions is initiated by a data center of said plurality of data centers; determining a sequence of internal transaction types, wherein each internal transaction type of said sequence of internal transaction types corresponds with an internal transaction of said sequence of internal transactions; determining a plurality of external transactions, wherein each of said plurality of external transactions is of said external transaction type; determining a plurality of sequences of internal transaction types, wherein each sequence of said plurality of sequences of internal transaction types is associated with an external transaction of said plurality of external transactions; and correlating of said plurality of sequences of internal transaction types to compute a plurality of computed model sequences, wherein each of said plurality of computed model sequences is a part of said plurality of model sequences.
