Solution Overview

Problem

Existing deployment management systems struggle to handle situations where requested solutions are incompatible with the available computing resources, leading to failed configurations and inadequate options for users.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an infrastructure management system that uses isometric subgraph analysis to identify alternative solutions when a requested solution is incompatible with the deployment, allowing users to select from ranked alternatives or add necessary computing components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the system strictly enforces compatibility checking between requested solutions and deployment resources, then configuration reliability is improved, but user flexibility and system adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration reliabilityVSAvoiduser flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary compatibility mapping system that sits between the requested solution and deployment resources. This mapping stores pre-analyzed compatibility relationships, allowing the system to enforce reliability checks while providing users with alternative compatible solutions rather than simply rejecting incompatible requests. The mapping acts as a mediator that translates user requests into compatible configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary compatibility analysis and stores compatibility mappings in advance before actual deployment configuration. By pre-computing and storing which solutions are compatible with which deployment resources, the system ensures reliability checks are already done, while users can quickly see alternative options without waiting for complex real-time analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the system provides comprehensive compatibility checking and alternative solution recommendations, then solution quality and user guidance are improved, but system complexity and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolution qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the compatibility checking process into distinct components: a compatibility mapping storage system, an analysis module that generates compatibility data, and a recommendation module that presents alternatives. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and reduces overall system complexity by dividing the complex task into manageable parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified representations of compatibility relationships through structured data models and mappings that copy essential compatibility information without replicating the full complexity of the underlying deployment architecture. These simplified models enable fast querying and recommendation generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If the system performs detailed isometric subgraph analysis to identify alternative solutions, then alternative solution accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealternative solution accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs the computationally intensive isometric subgraph analysis in advance and stores the results in compatibility mappings. When users request alternative solutions, the system retrieves pre-computed compatibility data rather than performing new analysis, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining high accuracy in alternative solution recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods and systems for managing operation of a deployment are disclosed. To manage operation of the deployment, the system may identify if a requested solution is incompatible with the deployment. If the solution is determined to be incompatible with the deployment, alternative solutions may be identified. To identify alternative solutions, the system may identify requirements of the requested solution and/or the available components of the deployment. The identified alternative solutions may be provided to a user to select at least one of the alternative solutions and/or to add additional computing components to make the deployment compatible with the solution. By doing so, the alternative solution agreed to by the user may be used to manage operation of the deployment.
