Orchestration Management Database for IT Infrastructure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional information technology infrastructures require multiple operating environments, vendor resource deployment, and authentication mechanisms, leading to time-consuming processes for installing new hardware or software, often resulting in underutilization of resources and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
An orchestration management database (OMDB) system that aggregates vendor and entity data, enabling modularized management of information technology resources, allowing for touchless deployment, intelligent monitoring, and resource federation across the cloud, thereby simplifying the integration of external components and optimizing resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional information technology infrastructure deployment processes are used, then comprehensive vendor resource deployment and authentication mechanisms are implemented, but the deployment time becomes excessively long (several weeks or months)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-populates the orchestration management database with vendor data, authentication credentials, and configuration information before deployment is needed. This preliminary action allows the system to rapidly deploy IT infrastructure by having all necessary resources and authorization already in place, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual setup during actual deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The orchestration management database acts as an intermediary between multiple vendors and the entity's IT infrastructure. It centralizes the management of vendor resources, authentication mechanisms, and deployment coordination, enabling automated workflows that reduce deployment time while maintaining comprehensive security and resource management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operating environments and application servers are deployed to operate a large entity's information technology, then system functionality is comprehensive, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The orchestration management database provides a universal platform that manages multiple operating environments, vendor resources, and application servers through a single centralized system. It handles diverse IT infrastructure components using standardized interfaces and workflows, reducing the complexity of managing multiple specialized systems while maintaining comprehensive functionality.
3Reliability
If manual installation and configuration processes are used for new hardware and software, then proper security and licensing are ensured, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback mechanisms that verify security requirements and licensing compliance during the deployment process. The orchestration management database automatically checks against pre-defined security policies and licensing agreements, providing real-time validation that ensures compliance while enabling rapid automated deployment without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The deployment system performs self-service by automatically provisioning resources, configuring security settings, and managing licensing based on pre-stored information in the orchestration management database. This eliminates the need for manual installation while maintaining security and compliance through automated enforcement of policies.
4Reliability
If physical servers and workstations are provisioned with requested hardware resources, then resource availability is ensured, but resource utilization efficiency decreases due to underutilization
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic resource allocation where the orchestration management database continuously monitors resource utilization and automatically reassigns underutilized resources to other needs. This dynamic approach maintains resource availability when needed while optimizing utilization by redistributing excess capacity, reducing waste of energy and computing resources.

AI summary
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for an orchestration management database (OMDB). The OMDB provides for aggregation of vendor and bank data necessary for information technology infrastructure deployment, management, and federation. Utilizing cloud computing technology the OMDB provides an aggregation of all data necessary for information technology infrastructures within an entity into one useable database that dramatically simplifies the ability to do core functions and integrate external vendors and components with the entity's information technology infrastructure. In this way, the present invention modularly stores data required for an entity's information technology infrastructure and allows for easy deployment, intelligent monitoring, federation of data, and feedback associated with all aspects of the entity's information technology infrastructure.
