Mixed Infrastructure Migration Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current migration technologies do not provide a solution for systems that combine both three-tier infrastructure and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCl) in a mixed manner, limiting the flexibility and efficiency of resource management and migration of business systems.
Innovation Solution
A management system that monitors resource usage across multiple infrastructures, analyzes usage trends, identifies resource insufficiencies, and migrates business systems between three-tier and HCl infrastructures to optimize resource allocation and balance resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a system uses only three-tier infrastructure or only HCl for migration, then migration can be implemented using existing technologies, but the system cannot handle mixed infrastructure environments combining both three-tier and HCl
Solution Approach 1:
The management system implements a universal migration management capability that can handle multiple infrastructure types (three-tier and HCl) through a single integrated platform. The system provides common migration management functions including usage state monitoring, usage tendency analysis, and migration decision-making that work across different infrastructure types, eliminating the need for separate migration solutions for each infrastructure type.
2Ease of manufacture
If the HCl adds resources in units of server, then resource allocation is simplified, but the system cannot flexibly change computer resource and storage resource independently
Solution Approach 1:
The management system implements local quality control by enabling independent resource adjustment for specific layers (computer resource or storage resource) within the HCl infrastructure. The system can identify and migrate business systems to address resource insufficiencies in specific layers without requiring full-server-level resource allocation, thus providing flexible local resource optimization while maintaining HCl's simplified allocation model.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the three-tier infrastructure individually adds or reduces resources of respective layers, then resource flexibility is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management system merges the resource management operations of three-tier infrastructure and HCl into a unified management platform. It consolidates usage state monitoring, usage tendency analysis, and migration decision-making into a single system that handles both infrastructure types, reducing the operational complexity that would otherwise arise from managing resource flexibility across separate systems.
4Productivity
If migration technology is implemented without usage tendency analysis, then migration can be performed quickly, but resource insufficiency prediction and optimization are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The management system performs preliminary usage tendency analysis by monitoring usage states over time and identifying usage patterns before migration decisions are made. This preliminary analysis predicts future resource insufficiencies and identifies optimal migration targets, ensuring that migrations are performed proactively rather than reactively, thereby improving resource optimization while maintaining efficient migration execution.

AI summary
A management system manages an infrastructure system configured to provide a resource for operating a business system and included a plurality of infrastructures with different architecture. The management system comprises a monitoring module configured to monitor a usage state of the resource of the business system; and an analysis module configured to identify a business system being a migration target. The analysis module is configured to: analyze a usage tendency of the resource of the business system, determine which of the infrastructures is appropriate for the business system, and store a result of determining as a first determination result; identify a target infrastructure, which is an infrastructure for which the resource is predicted to become insufficient; select a business system being the migration target from among business systems operating on the target infrastructure based on the first determination result; and migrate the selected business system.
