Cloud Storage Reporting With Cached Assets and Usage Statistics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cloud storage managers face challenges in seamlessly providing customized cloud storage statistics and reports to clients of managed service providers due to limited access to custom assets and statistics stored across various third-party platforms.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows cloud storage managers to access and utilize custom assets and statistics from remote cloud storage platforms, enabling the generation of customized pages or reports that conform to the theme and settings of the managed service provider, by using domain identifiers and application programming interfaces to retrieve and integrate client data and storage usage information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cloud storage managers store client data on third-party cloud storage platforms, then storage capacity and scalability are improved, but access control and data security are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that acts as a bridge between the cloud storage manager and third-party cloud storage platforms. This intermediary maintains local caches of custom assets and statistics, enabling the manager to access and control data without direct exposure to external platforms, thus preserving security while enabling storage scalability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cloud storage statistics are stored on remote third-party platforms, then storage flexibility is improved, but seamless access and integration are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-fetching and caching custom assets and statistics data from third-party platforms into local storage. This allows the cloud storage manager to quickly retrieve and integrate data without real-time connections to external platforms, maintaining flexibility while ensuring seamless user experience.
3Ease of manufacture
If custom assets are stored on separate third-party cloud storage services, then resource specialization is improved, but system complexity and integration difficulty are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functionality of accessing custom assets and statistics from multiple third-party platforms into a unified local cache system. The cloud storage manager integrates data from various sources through a single interface, maintaining resource specialization benefits while simplifying the overall system architecture and reducing integration complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
The present solution is directed to systems and methods for reporting cloud storage statistics or reports by a cloud storage manager that can receive a request from a client of a managed service provider pertaining to use of cloud storage by the client. The request can include a domain identifier associated with the managed service provider. The cloud storage manager can transmit a request for a custom asset associated with the domain identifier to a first cloud storage service and receive the requested custom asset associated with the domain identifier. The cloud storage manager can request statistics regarding use of a second cloud storage service by the client and receive statistics regarding use of the second cloud storage service by the client. The cloud storage manager can render, using the retrieved custom asset and statistics, a customized page or a report displaying the cloud storage statistics or information.
