Solution Overview

Problem

Current data management systems face challenges in efficiently accessing and managing large volumes of data across diverse platforms and locations, particularly in providing reliable backup, fast recovery, and data portability, due to complex data infrastructure and the need for precise data subset access.

Innovation Solution

A data management platform that employs secondary data and push transmission techniques, identifying and transmitting relevant data subsets to targets such as applications, NAS devices, or object stores, based on file metadata and data differences, enabling efficient data management and restoration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If data is stored in a proprietary format in a data management platform, then data backup and storage reliability are improved, but data accessibility and portability across different platforms deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata backup reliabilityVSAvoiddata portability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a data management platform as an intermediary layer between primary data sources and secondary storage systems. This platform maintains data in a proprietary format for reliable backup while providing translation and push capabilities to multiple target formats, thus ensuring both reliability and portability through the mediating platform architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments data management into distinct functions: data ingestion in proprietary format for reliable storage, and selective push transmission to multiple target destinations in different formats. This segmentation allows the system to maintain reliability in the core storage function while achieving portability through targeted data push operations to various platforms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If all secondary data is transmitted to targets, then data completeness is improved, but transmission time and network bandwidth consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata completenessVSAvoidtransmission time

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the necessary subset of secondary data to each target based on specific criteria such as data type, recency, and target requirements. This selective extraction approach maintains data completeness for each target's needs while significantly reducing overall transmission time and bandwidth consumption compared to transmitting all data.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by transmitting only the required portion of data to each target rather than all data. The push transmission mechanism determines the appropriate subset based on target-specific criteria, achieving sufficient data completeness for each use case without the excessive transmission of unnecessary data.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If data is accessed through complex data infrastructure, then data security and management control are improved, but access speed and operational simplicity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoiddata access simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The data management platform implements self-service capabilities where targets can autonomously receive pushed data without manual intervention. The system automatically identifies which data subsets to push to which targets based on predefined criteria, maintaining security through controlled push mechanisms while simplifying access operations through automated data delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

4Measurement precision

If precise data subset access is implemented, then data management precision is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata subset identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal push transmission mechanism that handles multiple data types, targets, and criteria through a single standardized interface. This multi-functional approach achieves precise data subset identification and transmission while avoiding the complexity of separate specialized systems for each data access scenario.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Some examples relate generally to a data management platform comprising a storage device configured to store secondary data and one or more processors in communication with the storage device and configured to perform certain operations. The operations may include identifying an aspect of the secondary data stored in the storage device, the secondary data including a backup of respective primary data stored in a primary data source; identifying or receiving an indication of a target to receive data associated with the identified aspect of the secondary data; and transmitting the data associated with the aspect of the secondary data to the target as a push transmission.
