Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional network management software is inadequate for efficiently managing resource-on-demand systems, leading to manual and time-consuming tasks, inefficient resource utilization, and idle resources remaining unused.
Innovation Solution
A resource manager system with a data monitoring system and a resource assessment system that utilizes a control plug-in to dynamically adjust allocated computer resources based on monitored metrics, implementing policies to optimize resource allocation and utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual resource allocation is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automated resource allocation where the resource manager automatically selects and assigns computer resources from the pool based on monitored metrics and control plug-in policies, eliminating the need for manual intervention in resource selection and reassignment decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the data monitoring system continuously monitors resource metrics, feeds this information to the resource assessment system, which then adjusts resource allocation based on the monitored performance data, creating a closed-loop automated control system
2Ease of operation
If conventional management tools are used for monitoring, then ease of operation is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The data monitoring system continuously collects resource metrics and feeds them to the resource assessment system, which uses this feedback to dynamically adjust resource allocation decisions, enabling the system to respond to changing workload conditions and optimize resource utilization in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static monitoring to dynamic resource allocation where the resource manager continuously adjusts resource assignments based on real-time monitored metrics, allowing the system to adapt to varying computational demands and maximize resource utilization efficiency
3Device complexity
If resources remain idle when unassigned, then system simplicity is maintained, but overall system efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The automated resource allocation system continuously monitors resource availability and workload demands, automatically reassigning idle resources to active workloads without manual intervention, thereby eliminating resource idle time while maintaining simple operation through automated decision-making
Solution Approach 2:
The system ensures continuous useful action by continuously monitoring and reallocating resources to maintain optimal utilization, preventing idle time through ongoing automated adjustment of resource assignments based on real-time workload conditions

AI summary
A resource manager computer system allocates computer resources from a pool of computer resources for executing an application. A data monitoring system monitors metrics for the allocated computer resources, and a resource assessment computer system executes a control plug-in specifying a policy for determining whether to adjust the allocated computer resources based on the metrics.
