[0002] In data centers, network resource provisioning management typically includes network resource requests, switch resource provisioning, and network patch cable provisioning. Currently, network resource provisioning is generally done manually. Specifically, network resource provisioning usually requires communication between network operations personnel and resource requesters, data center administrators, equipment administrators, and business personnel. Simultaneously, operations personnel need to conduct on-site surveys of server locations, switches, and patch cable resources in the data center to manually develop targeted network resource provisioning plans. This manual approach to data center network resource provisioning is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0081] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this specification, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0082] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates application scenarios of a data center network resource supply system in some embodiments of this specification. The network resource supply system 20 can receive network resource supply requests for target application devices sent by the user terminal 10. The resource supply request carries resource demand information and the desired location information of the target application device within the data center. The system determines the target network device based on the resource demand information; determines the target connection line based on the desired location information and the location information of the target network device; generates incremental configuration information for the target network device and sends it to the target network device; and returns a notification to the user terminal 10 indicating that the network resource supply is complete. This enables the data center to automatically allocate and supply network resources to the target application device.

[0083] In some embodiments, the user terminal 10 can be a self-service terminal device, a mobile terminal (i.e., a smartphone), a display, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a digital assistant, or a smart wearable device, etc. Smart wearable devices can include smart bracelets, smartwatches, smart glasses, or smart helmets, etc. Of course, the user terminal 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned physical electronic devices; it can also be software running on the aforementioned electronic devices.

[0084] In some embodiments, the network resource supply system 20 may be an electronic device with computing and network interaction functions; or it may be software running on the electronic device that provides business logic for data processing and network interaction.

[0085] In addition, it should be noted that, Figure 1 The example shown is merely one application environment provided in this specification. In actual applications, there can be multiple user terminals 10, and this specification does not impose any restrictions.

[0086] In the embodiments of this specification, the target network device can be any network device ultimately selected in the data center (e.g., switch, repeater, bridge, router, gateway, firewall, etc.). For example, in some embodiments of this specification, the target network device can be a target switch. Therefore, the use of a target switch as the target network device in the embodiments of this specification is merely illustrative and should not be construed as the only limitation on the target network device.

[0087] This specification provides a method for supplying network resources to a data center, which can be applied to the network resource supply system described above. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the network resource provisioning method for a data center may include the following steps:

[0088] Step 201: Receive a network resource supply request sent by the user terminal for the target application device; the resource supply request carries resource demand information and the expected location information of the target application device in the data center.

[0089] Step 202: Determine the target switch based on the resource requirement information.

[0090] Step 203: Determine the target connection line based on the desired location information and the location information of the target switch.

[0091] Step 204: Generate incremental configuration information for the target switch and send it to the target switch.

[0092] Step 205: Return a notification to the user terminal indicating that the network resource provision has been completed.

[0093] In the embodiments of this specification, when the network resource supply system receives a network resource supply request for a target application device sent by a user terminal, it can automatically supply suitable switch resources and connection line resources to the target application device according to the resource demand information and desired location information carried in the request, and return a notification after completing the supply. This achieves automatic supply of data center network resources. Compared with manually implemented data center network resource supply schemes, the embodiments of this specification improve the supply efficiency of data center network resources and reduce the labor costs of data center network resource supply. For example, when a user adds a server to the data center and needs to apply for network resources for that server, the user terminal can initiate a network resource supply request for that server.

[0094] In the embodiments described in this specification, application devices refer to devices available to users in a data center, such as servers, virtual machines, encryption machines, and industrial control computers. Target application devices refer to application devices specified by the user that require network resources.

[0095] In some embodiments, the resource requirement information includes network logical areas, personalized network feature requirement information, and / or high availability requirement information. Personalized network feature requirement information refers to network feature requirements selected by the user on demand (e.g., port binding, traffic replication, etc.) to meet the user's personalized network feature needs. High availability requirement information refers to the user's selection of whether to enable or disable high availability. For example, under high availability, the target application device needs to connect to two or more switches in the same area (i.e., the same network logical area) to ensure that services are not affected when one or more switches fail.

[0096] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, determining the target switch based on the resource requirement information may include the following steps:

[0097] Step 2021: Determine all switches in the data center that meet the resource requirement information to form a candidate switch set.

[0098] In some embodiments, determining all switches in the data center that meet the resource requirements may include: traversing and querying the status and configuration information (e.g., the network logical area corresponding to the switch, the number of idle ports (various fiber optic interfaces, network cable interfaces, etc.)) of each switch in the data center from the network resource management system; and then determining whether each switch meets the resource requirements based on its status and configuration information. The network resource management system is an external system of the data center, primarily responsible for managing network equipment within the data center's server room.

[0099] For example, taking resource demand information including network logical area A and the number of idle fiber optic ports X as an example, it can be determined whether each switch is located in network logical area A and whether the number of idle ports satisfies YR≥X; where Y is the total number of idle ports of the switch and R is the number of non-fiber optic type idle ports; if a switch is located in network logical area A and satisfies YR≥X, then the switch can be used as a candidate switch.

[0100] Step 2022: Determine the first distance between each candidate switch in the candidate switch set and the desired location information.

[0101] In some embodiments, determining the first distance between each candidate switch in the candidate switch set and the desired location information may include: traversing and querying the location information of each candidate switch from the smart data center system; and invoking the ranging component of the smart data center system to measure the first distance between the desired location information and the location information of each candidate switch. The smart data center system is also an external system of the data center. It displays a panoramic view of the data center and records information such as the location, name, and identifier of each installed device in the data center. Furthermore, the smart data center system provides functional modules (such as ranging components and query components) for adding, modifying, and deleting panoramic views and implementing specific functions.

[0102] Step 2023: Sort the first distances from smallest to largest.

[0103] Step 2024: Sort by distance and select one candidate switch as the selected switch.

[0104] By selecting a candidate switch from those sorted by distance, it is advantageous to obtain the nearest target switch, thereby saving on cabling and improving the quality of data communication.

[0105] Step 2025: Verify whether the selected switch is available. If it is available, proceed to step 2026; if it is not available, proceed to step 2024.

[0106] In the embodiments of this specification, verifying the selected switch mainly refers to confirming whether the selected switch port is available. In an exemplary embodiment, the verification content may include: checking the port status, checking the port configuration, etc.; for cases where the port status is "UP" but is set to available, or the port status is "DOWN" but there are still configurations under the port that have not been deleted, the administrator can be notified (e.g., a message can be sent to the administrator's client) for secondary confirmation to avoid allocating the ports that are in use or reserved for other purposes due to technical or management reasons; at the same time, if the idle rate of the switch port is lower than a set value, an early warning can also be issued to the administrator (e.g., an early warning message can be sent to the administrator's client).

[0107] By verifying the availability of the selected switch, the success rate and efficiency of data center network resource provisioning can be improved.

[0108] Step 2026: Select the chosen switch as the target switch.

[0109] Step 2027: Determine if the number of target switches meets the requirement. If the number of target switches meets the requirement, the processing logic for determining the target switches ends; if the number of target switches does not meet the requirement, proceed to step 2024 to continue adding target switches until the number of target switches meets the requirement.

[0110] Determining whether the number of target switches meets the requirements is mainly for scenarios where the resource requirement information includes a high availability option. In this scenario, it is necessary to select two or more target switches. If the currently determined number of target switches is less than two or more, additional target switches need to be selected.

[0111] Of course, if the resource requirement information does not include the high availability option, then step 2027 does not need to be performed (i.e., step 2027 is an optional step).

[0112] By querying the status and configuration information of switches from the network resource management system and obtaining the location information of candidate switches from the smart data center system, the automation level of network resource provisioning can be improved, the implementation cost of network resource provisioning can be reduced, and the utilization rate of the original system in the data center can be increased.

[0113] In some embodiments, resource demand information may further include: the type and quantity of connection cables required, resource supply timeliness, etc. Here, connection cables refer to data communication cables such as fiber optic cables, patch cords, and / or twisted-pair cables used to connect the target switch and the target application device. Resource supply timeliness refers to the latest timeframe for resource supply expected by the user. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, resource supply timeliness may be within three days from the date the supply request is initiated.

[0114] Correspondingly, refer to Figure 4 As shown, determining the target connection line based on the desired location information and the location information of the target switch may include the following steps:

[0115] Step 2031: Invoke the ranging component of the smart data center system to measure the second distance between the desired location information and the target switch.

[0116] Step 2032: From the asset management system of the data center, iterate through and query the inventory quantity of connection cables in the data center that meet the conditions. The conditions include belonging to the same demand type and having a length that reaches the second distance.

[0117] Step 2033: Determine whether the inventory quantity is less than the demand quantity. If the inventory quantity is less than the demand quantity, proceed to step 2034; if the inventory quantity is not less than the demand quantity, proceed to step 2037.

[0118] Step 2034: Initiate a supply request for the target connection line to the asset management system.

[0119] The asset management system is an external system of the data center, primarily used for the unified management of data center assets, including asset inventory, asset procurement, asset issuance, and asset receipt. When the inventory quantity of a target connection cable is lower than the required quantity, relevant personnel need to be notified to procure the target connection cable. This can be achieved by initiating a supply request for the target connection cable into the asset management system, which will then issue the procurement requirement (including the object, quantity, and specifications of the cable) to the relevant personnel (i.e., to their user terminals).

[0120] Step 2035: Receive the estimated supply time returned by the asset management system in response to the supply request.

[0121] After receiving a procurement request, relevant personnel can report the estimated time for completing the procurement and warehousing to the asset management system. This estimated time is the expected supply time. In response to the supply request, the asset management system can return this expected supply time.

[0122] Step 2036: Determine whether the expected supply time meets the resource supply timeliness. If the expected supply time meets the resource supply timeliness, proceed to step 2037; if the expected supply time does not meet the resource supply timeliness, proceed to step 2038.

[0123] Step 2037: When the inventory quantity is not less than the demand quantity, select the demand quantity as the target connection line from the connection lines that meet the conditions.

[0124] Step 2038: Reselect the target switch.

[0125] Reselecting a target switch means abandoning the currently selected target switch and selecting a new one. For detailed selection procedures, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The steps shown will not be repeated. When the inventory quantity is less than the demand quantity, the problem of the target application equipment being unable to be put into production in a timely manner due to the lack of target connection cables can be avoided by reselecting the target switch.

[0126] In the embodiments of this specification, the network resource provisioning system can generate incremental configuration information (such as VLAN number, IP address, port, etc.) for the target switch based on user operation commands. In the embodiments of this specification, incremental configuration information refers to the switch configuration information that needs to be added this time. By sending the incremental configuration information to the target switch, the target switch can perform configuration information updates and take effect immediately or in due course.

[0127] This specification provides another method for supplying network resources to a data center, which can be applied to the network resource supply system described above. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the network resource provisioning method for a data center may include the following steps:

[0128] Step 501: Receive a network resource supply request sent by the user terminal for the target application device; the resource supply request carries resource demand information and the expected location information of the target application device in the data center.

[0129] Step 502: Determine the target switch based on the resource requirement information.

[0130] Step 503: Determine the target connection line based on the desired location information and the location information of the target switch.

[0131] Step 504: Generate the connection label for the target connection line and call the printing device to print the connection label.

[0132] Step 505: Generate incremental configuration information for the target switch and send it to the target switch.

[0133] Step 506: Return a notification to the user terminal indicating that the network resource provision has been completed.

[0134] and Figure 2 Compared to the network resource provisioning methods shown, Figure 5 The network resource provisioning method shown has been augmented with step 504. This further reduces the level of human intervention in data center network resource provisioning, thereby improving the automation level of data center network resource provisioning.

[0135] Although the process described above includes multiple operations that occur in a specific order, it should be clearly understood that these processes may include more or fewer operations, which may be executed sequentially or in parallel (e.g., using parallel processors or a multithreaded environment).

[0136] refer to Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, corresponding to the above-described data center network resource supply method, the data center network resource supply system may include:

[0137] The request receiving module 61 is used to receive a network resource supply request sent by the user terminal for a target application device; the resource supply request carries resource demand information and the expected location information of the target application device in the data center.

[0138] Switch determination module 62 is used to determine the target switch based on the resource requirement information;

[0139] The connection line determination module 63 is used to determine the target connection line based on the desired location information and the location information of the target switch.

[0140] Configuration distribution module 64 is used to generate incremental configuration information for the target switch and distribute it to the target switch;

[0141] The notification return module 65 is used to return a notification to the user terminal to indicate that the network resource provision has been completed.

[0142] For ease of description, the above devices are described in terms of function, divided into various units. Of course, in implementing this specification, the functions of each unit can be implemented in one or more software and / or hardware components.
