Unified Cross-Premises Resource Management Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multi-platform management solutions fail to effectively manage cross-premises resources, leading to high management overhead due to the lack of integrated tools for local and remote server resources, which are typically managed individually and lack features for collaboration, data sharing, and common authentication mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A communication application models local and remote resources into a single view, providing integrated managerial functionality, secure cross-premises messaging and signaling, and single sign-on (SSO) authentication across both, automating authentication through a single access point for multiple platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If local and remote server resources are managed individually using separate non-connected system management tools, then each resource can be managed with dedicated tools, but management overhead increases substantially and collaboration between resources is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges local and remote server resource management into a single integrated management interface. The system combines multiple separate management tools into one unified platform that can access and manage resources across different premises, eliminating the need for administrators to switch between separate tools and reducing overall management overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The management system is designed with universal functionality that can handle both local and remote resources through a single interface. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including resource monitoring, configuration management, and collaboration features that work across different premises without requiring premise-specific tools.
2Adaptability or versatility
If deployments are managed individually without shared data or resources, then each deployment can operate independently, but automatic communication and data sharing require extensive manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic feedback mechanisms that enable deployments to communicate and share data without manual intervention. The integrated management platform continuously monitors and synchronizes information across different premises, allowing deployments to respond to changes automatically based on predefined rules and protocols.
3Adaptability or versatility
If varying deployment components use distinct server configurations, then each component can be optimized for its specific requirements, but common authentication mechanisms and single sign-on become unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a centralized authentication service as an intermediary that mediates between different deployment components with distinct configurations. This intermediary provides a common authentication mechanism that respects the configuration flexibility of individual components while enabling unified access control and single sign-on across the entire distributed system.

AI summary
A communication application manages cross-premises resources through an integrated view. The application creates a single view to manage local and remote resources by modeling the single view. The application manages the local and remote resources from the single view. The application transmits and receives input/output from the local and remote resources. Output is displayed in the single view. The application also secures cross-premises messaging and signaling across the local and remote resources. The application secures messaging and signaling by implementing security requirements of the resources. In addition, the application provides a single sign on (SSO) authentication across the local and remote resources.
