Consolidated CIQ Generation for Consistent Telco Cloud Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing management and orchestration tools for telco cloud deployments fail to generate consolidated customer information questionnaire (CIQ) files, leading to inconsistent and labor-intensive deployment processes, and do not account for the dynamic nature of telco cloud configurations, resulting in inefficiencies and errors.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating a consolidated CIQ file that automatically orders and merges CIQ files from various administrators, providing a vendor-agnostic, hardware-agnostic, and workload-agnostic deployment plan, ensuring consistency and efficiency by leveraging runtime properties and historical data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple CIQ files from different administrators are manually processed, then deployment configurations can be gathered, but the process becomes labor-intensive and inconsistent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple CIQ files from different administrators into a single consolidated CIQ file. The system automatically combines configuration data from multiple sources, eliminating the need for manual processing of each file separately and reducing overall processing time while maintaining consistency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically processing and consolidating CIQ files without requiring manual intervention. The automated consolidation process handles the entire workflow from multiple file inputs to a single unified output, reducing labor requirements and improving efficiency.
2Productivity
If existing management tools are used for telco cloud deployments, then deployment can be executed, but deployment consistency and accuracy deteriorate due to lack of consolidation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary consolidation of CIQ files before deployment execution. By pre-processing and merging all configuration files into a unified structure beforehand, the system ensures that deployment tools receive consistent, consolidated data, thereby improving both speed and precision of deployment execution.
3Ease of operation
If static deployment templates are used, then deployment process is simple, but adaptability to dynamic telco cloud configurations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by automatically generating consolidated CIQ files that adapt to the specific configurations provided by different administrators. The system maintains operational simplicity while achieving adaptability through automated processing that dynamically consolidates varied input configurations into a unified output structure.
Data Source
AI summary
Described is technology that facilitates consistent deployment of cloud computing services, such as telco clouds, based on automatic consolidation and analysis of data corresponding to customer information questionnaires. An example method comprises ordering a set of customer information questionnaire (CIQ) files according to time stamps of the CIQ files, wherein the CIQ files specify configurations for deployment of a cloud computing service, and, based on the ordering, generating a consolidated CIQ file that comprises a consolidated set of the configurations defining deployment criteria for the cloud computing service.
