Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If data objects are moved or copied between computing environments, then data accessibility and user flexibility are improved, but system performance and reliability may deteriorate due to resource constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidsystem performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary simulation of the computing environment before actual data migration occurs. Health scores are calculated in advance based on simulated performance metrics, allowing administrators to assess potential impacts before committing resources. This preliminary evaluation prevents performance degradation by identifying suitable target environments beforehand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback through health scores that indicate the expected performance impact of data migration. These scores are generated by simulating the target environment and comparing resource requirements against available capacity. The feedback mechanism enables informed decision-making about whether to proceed with migration, thus maintaining system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comprehensive performance simulation is conducted before data migration, then system reliability is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemigration safetyVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a simplified simulation that focuses on key performance indicators such as storage capacity, compute resources, and network bandwidth rather than exhaustive testing. Health scores are generated based on these critical parameters, providing sufficient reliability assurance without requiring complete system simulation. This partial action approach balances thoroughness with efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Manufacturing precision

If manual configuration of computing environments is performed, then precision in resource allocation is improved, but operational complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically configures the computing environment based on the simulated results and health score calculations. After the simulation identifies suitable target environments and determines required resource allocations, the system performs the actual data migration and environment configuration without requiring manual intervention. This self-service approach maintains precision while significantly reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary simulation and resource requirement analysis before actual configuration. By pre-determining the optimal configuration based on simulated performance, the system eliminates the need for manual trial-and-error configuration. The preliminary action includes identifying target environments, calculating resource allocations, and preparing migration parameters, which then guide the automated configuration process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

One or more computers receive a request from a user to change a configuration of a computing environment provided by one or more servers. In response to receiving the request and before performing the requested change in the configuration of the environment, the computers determine an estimated measure of performance that represents a level of performance of the computing environment if changed according to the request and provide data indicating performance measures indicating the estimated measure of performance for the environment corresponding to the change in the configuration of the environment. After providing the data indicating the estimated performance measures, the computers receive data indicating user input confirming the request to change the configuration of the environment, and perform the requested change in the configuration of the computing environment.
