Solution Overview

Problem

Current data retention and data protection protocols are inadequate for preserving enterprise artifacts for an extended period and for securely transmitting them from a compromised data center to a secure location.

Innovation Solution

A method and system using digital twin technology and intelligent smart contracts to monitor external and internal data, identify inconsistencies, flag key performance indicators, and execute enterprise artifact protection protocols to ensure real-time or near real-time preservation and secure transmission of enterprise artifacts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If backup power generators are used to protect enterprise artifacts in a compromised data center, then short-term protection is improved, but the duration of protection deteriorates as fuel supply depletes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protection effectivenessVSAvoidprotection duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring data consistency and identifying inconsistencies before they lead to complete data loss. The digital twin engine proactively detects deviations from expected data states and triggers protection protocols in advance, enabling the system to initiate data preservation and transmission before the compromised data center completely fails.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs digital twin technology to create virtual copies of enterprise artifacts and their protective protocols. These digital twins allow the system to simulate, analyze, and execute protection strategies without directly impacting the physical data center operations. The digital twin engine can model various failure scenarios and test protection measures, enabling more effective real-time response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Speed

If data is continuously monitored and analyzed in real-time, then data protection responsiveness is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection speedVSAvoidcomputational energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and isolates only the critical data elements and consistency checks that are essential for detection. Rather than analyzing all data uniformly, the digital twin engine identifies and focuses computational resources on key performance indicators and critical data subsets that most strongly indicate potential failures or inconsistencies, reducing overall computational load while maintaining detection effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs lightweight digital twin instances that can be rapidly created, executed, and discarded for specific analysis tasks. These temporary digital twins perform focused consistency checks and are then decommissioned, consuming minimal computational resources compared to maintaining permanent, full-scale analytical systems. This approach allows multiple parallel analysis streams without proportionally increasing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to preserving enterprise artifacts using digital twin technology and intelligent smart contracts. The computing platform may receive a stream of internal data and a stream of external data. The computing platform may compare the received internal data and the received external data to historic internal data and historic external data, respectively. The computing platform may identify inconsistencies between the received data and the historic data using a plurality of key performance indicators, and may determine a critical value for each key performance indicator. The computing platform may determine whether the key performance indicator threatens the security of the enterprise artifacts. If the computing platform determines that the key performance indicator threatens the security of the enterprise artifacts, then the computing platform may execute at least one enterprise artifact protection protocol to safeguard the enterprise artifacts.
