Cloud Transferability Evaluation Framework
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Determining the transferability of computing resources to a cloud computing environment is complex due to various business and technical dimensions, requiring a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as regulatory compliance, vendor support, geography, service availability, security, infrastructure compatibility, cloud computing model, internet stability, performance, architecture, and interfaces, which existing methods fail to address effectively.
Innovation Solution
A computing device with analysis logic that evaluates transferability by receiving data through a graphical user interface, comparing it to predetermined dimensions, generating reports, and providing recommendations on suitable cloud environments, including public, private off-premise, private on-premise, and dedicated environments, using modules for data input, comparison, weighting, normalization, risk analysis, and reporting.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If existing methods are used to evaluate transferability, then the evaluation process is simple, but the comprehensiveness of evaluation dimensions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transferability evaluation into multiple independent dimensions including technical dimensions (infrastructure compatibility, cloud computing model, performance, architecture, interfaces) and business dimensions (regulatory compliance, vendor support, geography, service availability, security). Each dimension is evaluated separately through dedicated input interfaces, allowing comprehensive assessment while maintaining manageable complexity through modular evaluation structure.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive evaluation dimensions are implemented, then transferability assessment accuracy improves, but the complexity of the evaluation system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal evaluation framework that can assess transferability across multiple cloud computing environments (public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud) using the same set of technical and business dimensions. The system multi-functionally evaluates different computing resources (virtual machines, physical servers, storage systems, networks) against consistent criteria, improving assessment accuracy without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a multi-dimensional evaluation space by adding both technical dimensions (infrastructure compatibility, performance, architecture) and business dimensions (regulatory compliance, security, vendor support) simultaneously. This dimensional expansion allows comprehensive transferability assessment by evaluating resources across multiple independent axes rather than single-factor evaluation, achieving high accuracy through systematic multi-dimensional analysis.
