Automated IT Infrastructure Diagnostic System for Multi-Vendor Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Small- to medium-size companies lack the expertise to stably and efficiently manage their IT infrastructure, as they often rely on limited one-time diagnostics from equipment suppliers, which are typically performed offline, failing to provide comprehensive analysis across various servers and products.
Innovation Solution
An infrastructure diagnostic system and method that allows companies to use a free web-based tool to diagnose and analyze their IT infrastructure, including a storage unit for diagnostic scripts, a script transmission unit, a system information collection unit, and an analysis engine storage unit, enabling comprehensive online diagnostics and generating analysis information based on predefined criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If offline diagnostics are performed by equipment suppliers, then diagnostic coverage for specific products is provided, but time consumption and space constraints increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical offline diagnostic process with an automated online diagnostic system. Diagnostic scripts are transmitted electronically to the target system, automatically collect system information, and generate analysis results without requiring physical presence of technicians. This substitution of manual mechanical diagnostics with automated electronic diagnostics resolves the contradiction by maintaining comprehensive diagnostic coverage while eliminating time consumption and space constraints.
2Measurement precision
If equipment suppliers perform one-time diagnostics, then product-specific issues are identified, but integrative analysis across multiple servers is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal diagnostic platform that can diagnose multiple types of servers (web servers, application servers, database servers, etc.) and multiple vendors' products through a single integrated system. The analysis engine storage unit stores analysis rules for various server types, and the system can perform integrative analysis across all servers in an IT infrastructure, resolving the contradiction by providing both product-specific accuracy and broad adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the diagnostic system into modular components: script transmission unit, system information collection unit, analysis engine storage unit, and analysis information generation unit. Each component handles specific diagnostic tasks for different server types, allowing the system to maintain product-specific diagnostic accuracy while integrating results across multiple servers through the coordinated operation of these segmented modules.
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive diagnostics across multiple servers are implemented, then integrative analysis is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary analysis engine that processes diagnostic data from multiple servers. The analysis engine storage unit stores standardized analysis rules that act as intermediaries between the diverse server environments and the integrative analysis function. This intermediary layer simplifies the system architecture by providing a unified interface for handling multiple server types, thereby improving integrative analysis capability without proportionally increasing system complexity.
