Load Balancer Server for Cross-Network Data Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current network systems face inefficiencies in resource utilization for maintenance operations across different network systems due to strict information security policies, which restrict the sharing of data between monitoring and analysis centers in separate regions.
Innovation Solution
A computer system with a load balancer server that manages permission management information to determine if information can be sent between regions and selects appropriate monitoring/analysis servers based on load balancing and security policies, ensuring efficient resource utilization while adhering to security regulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If information is distributed to multiple monitoring and analysis centers across different network systems, then resource utilization is improved and processing capacity is increased, but information security policies prohibit cross-network information transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a load balancer server as an intermediary component that receives information from data centers and determines appropriate monitoring/analysis servers based on permission management information. This intermediary enables cross-network information distribution while maintaining security compliance by acting as a controlled gateway that evaluates permission criteria before allowing information transmission to external network systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the routing parameter of information flow based on permission management information that specifies relations between information sources, information types, and destination networks. The load balancer server modifies information transmission paths by selecting different monitoring/analysis servers according to security policies, effectively changing the network parameter of information flow to comply with security requirements while maintaining resource distribution.
2Reliability
If monitoring and analysis centers are confined to their own network systems, then information security policies are maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The load balancer server provides multi-functional capability by both enforcing information security policies and enabling resource distribution across networks. It universally manages permission criteria for different information types and sources, allowing the same infrastructure to serve both security compliance and resource optimization functions simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts information routing based on real-time permission management information and system state. The load balancer server can change transmission paths dynamically according to security policies and resource availability, enabling flexible adaptation that maintains security compliance while optimizing resource utilization efficiency.
3Reliability
If operators visit each data center to collect information manually, then information security policies are followed, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-service information collection where data centers automatically transmit information to monitoring/analysis servers without requiring operator intervention. The load balancer server and permission management system handle security compliance automatically through automated permission checking and routing, eliminating manual information collection processes while maintaining security policies.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring permission management information that specifies allowed information transmission paths and criteria. This preliminary setup enables automated decision-making about information routing, eliminating the need for operators to manually evaluate security compliance during information collection processes.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer system includes one or more storage devices, and one or more processors. The one or more storage devices store permission management information specifying relations between combinations of an information source and an information type and whether sending information from the information source to an external network system is permitted or prohibited. The one or more processor is configured to receive an information transmission request specifying an information type of first information from a first system of an information source, determine whether sending the first information to outside a network system the first system belongs to is permitted with reference to the permission management information, and select a monitoring/analysis server to receive the first information from the monitoring/analysis servers based on the determination.
