Automated Multimedia Feed for Virtual Datacenter Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IT management systems require high proficiency and significant training to interpret complex information, and virtual IT infrastructure poses challenges in capacity planning and resource management, making it difficult for users to effectively monitor and manage datacenters.
Innovation Solution
An automated multimedia feed generation method that dynamically renders three-dimensional audio-visual information based on virtual IT infrastructure user needs and privileges, using a multimedia generation module within a virtual management software system, which compiles relevant data from the datacenter and presents it in an intuitive, error-free manner via multimedia devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If existing IT management systems provide detailed information via email, SMS, SNMP, and web-based alerting, then comprehensive monitoring data is available, but the systems require high user proficiency and significant training to interpret the complex information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an automated feed generation system that acts as an intermediary between the complex IT infrastructure data and the end user. This system automatically compiles, analyzes, and presents information in simplified formats (email digests, web dashboards, mobile notifications) without requiring direct user interaction with the complex underlying data structures, thereby eliminating the need for high user proficiency while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automated feed generation that requires no manual compilation or interpretation by users. The automated compilation process, role-based filtering, and intelligent presentation formats enable the system to serve itself in preparing and delivering customized information streams to different user roles without requiring them to navigate complex data compilation processes
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing systems pack a large number of features to assist users in managing datacenter issues, then comprehensive management capabilities are provided, but the device complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive management system into modular components: automated feed generation module, role-based access control module, multi-channel delivery module (email, web, mobile), and automated compilation engine. Each module handles specific functions independently, allowing the system to provide comprehensive management capabilities while maintaining manageable complexity through clear separation of concerns and independent deployment of features
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a universal feed generation platform that serves multiple management functions through a single core architecture. The same automated compilation and delivery mechanism handles diverse information types (alerts, performance metrics, capacity planning data) across multiple delivery channels and user roles, reducing overall system complexity compared to having separate specialized systems for each function
3Reliability
If virtual IT infrastructure allocates capacity to each VM including disk space, processing resources, and memory, then resource management is enabled, but capacity planning and efficient resource use become more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the automated feed generation system continuously monitors resource allocation across virtual machines and provides real-time or near-real-time information about capacity utilization, allocation efficiency, and potential optimization opportunities. This feedback loop enables dynamic capacity planning adjustments without increasing the complexity of individual VM management, as the system automatically aggregates and analyzes data across the entire virtualized environment
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for generating multimedia feed based on virtual IT infrastructure user's needs in a virtual datacenter are described. In one example embodiment, a request to dynamically render multimedia feed associated with the virtual datacenter is received via a virtual IT infrastructure user's multimedia device. The virtual IT infrastructure user's privileges are then verified by mapping the virtual IT infrastructure user to a defined one of roles. The relevant data is then obtained using utility applications based on the outcome of verified virtual IT infrastructure user's privileges. A three-dimensional (3D) feed is then generated by compiling the obtained relevant data based on associated one or more of resources in the virtual datacenter. The three-dimensional (3D) multimedia feed is then dynamically rendered to the virtual IT infrastructure user's multimedia device.
