Centralized Cloud Resource Management Console
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing computing resources in complex, dynamically evolving environments with multiple users and applications is challenging due to the lack of systems for tracking resource utilization and user activity, leading to inefficiencies and resource waste.
Innovation Solution
A centralized management console system that collects data from external systems, provides a dashboard for resource tracking and notification, and enables utilization monitoring and mapping of application execution across multiple machines and cloud resources, facilitating efficient resource allocation and usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If organizations deploy multiple applications across multiple machines in the cloud to meet operational needs, then application availability and operational flexibility improve, but resource utilization tracking and management become increasingly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized management console as an intermediary system that aggregates resource utilization data from multiple distributed applications and machines. This console provides a unified interface for tracking and managing cloud resources, eliminating the complexity of monitoring each application-machine combination separately while maintaining the flexibility of distributed deployment
2Productivity
If organizations allocate more computing resources to users to ensure adequate capacity, then user operational capability improves, but resource waste increases due to lack of utilization monitoring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the management console continuously monitors resource utilization metrics and provides real-time information to both users and administrators. This feedback loop enables dynamic resource allocation adjustments, allowing organizations to allocate sufficient resources for user productivity while identifying and correcting utilization inefficiencies to reduce waste
3Measurement precision
If organizations implement comprehensive resource tracking systems to monitor usage, then resource management precision improves, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The management console is designed as a universal platform that can track multiple types of cloud resources (computing power, storage, network bandwidth) across multiple applications and machines through a single unified interface. This multi-functional approach achieves comprehensive measurement precision without requiring separate tracking systems for each resource type, thereby reducing overall system complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A management console application provides a dashboard which centralizes data from and access to one or more other applications. In a specific implementation, the dashboard displays resource utilization and tracking data generated by a first application, an application execution map generated by a second application that identifies the resources on which a third application is executing, or both.
