Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtualization techniques for securing access to protected data in Information Handling Systems (IHSs) are inefficient and burdensome, failing to account for the context of use and resulting in unnecessary resource consumption and degraded productivity.
Innovation Solution
Implementing workspace orchestration based on energy scores, which consider factors like time, location, energy consumption, and performance to dynamically adjust workspaces, balancing local and remote components to optimize energy use and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used to secure access to protected data, then security is improved, but resource consumption increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic workspace orchestration that adapts security measures based on real-time energy scores and contextual factors. Instead of applying static virtualization overhead continuously, the system dynamically adjusts security protocols, workspace instantiation, and resource allocation based on changing conditions such as user behavior, device state, and environmental context, thereby maintaining security while reducing unnecessary resource consumption and improving productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes security parameters dynamically by calculating energy scores based on multiple factors (device state, user context, environmental conditions) and adjusting security measures accordingly. When energy scores indicate low risk, the system reduces virtualization overhead and security protocol intensity, while maintaining strong security when scores indicate higher risk, thus resolving the contradiction between constant security and variable productivity needs
2Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used to secure access to protected data, then security is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic energy-aware security orchestration that continuously monitors energy consumption metrics and adjusts security operations accordingly. The system calculates energy scores that reflect the actual security needs versus energy costs, dynamically scaling virtualization operations, workspace instantiation, and security protocol execution to match actual requirements rather than applying fixed overhead, thereby maintaining security while optimizing energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes operational parameters by adjusting security measure intensity based on calculated energy scores. When energy scores indicate favorable conditions, the system intensifies security operations; when scores indicate energy constraints, the system reduces virtualization overhead and security protocol intensity proportionally, maintaining an optimal balance between security assurance and energy consumption
3Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used, then data protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service workspace orchestration where the system automatically calculates energy scores, determines appropriate security measures, and manages workspace instantiation without requiring complex manual configuration. The system self-adjusts security protocols and virtualization parameters based on real-time conditions, reducing the operational complexity burden on users and administrators while maintaining robust data protection through automated, context-aware security management
4Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used, then security protocols are enforced, but user experience degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security orchestration that adapts to user context and device state in real-time. Instead of applying uniform security protocols that degrade user experience, the system dynamically adjusts security measures based on calculated energy scores that incorporate user behavior patterns, device capabilities, and environmental context. This allows the system to maintain strong security when needed while providing a smoother, less intrusive experience when risk levels are low, thereby resolving the contradiction between security enforcement and user experience

AI summary
Systems and methods for workspace orchestration based on energy scores are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive, at a local management agent from a workspace orchestration service, one or more files configured to enable the local management agent to instantiate a workspace, where the one or more files are selected or assembled based upon a workspace definition created, at least in part, based upon an energy score; and instantiate the workspace.
