Predictive Workspace Orchestration for Secure Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtualization techniques for securing access to protected data in Information Handling Systems (IHSs) are inefficient and burdensome, consuming significant memory and processing resources while failing to account for the context of IHS usage, leading to suboptimal productivity and security.
Innovation Solution
Implement predictive workspace orchestration using a workspace orchestration service that predicts workspace instantiation based on scores associated with client IHSs, creating workspace definitions that adapt to changing contexts and optimize resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used to secure access to protected data, then security is improved, but memory and processing resource consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic workspace orchestration that adjusts virtualization resources based on contextual factors including user identity, device characteristics, network conditions, and application requirements. The system dynamically creates, modifies, or terminates workspaces rather than maintaining static virtualized environments, optimizing resource allocation while preserving security protocols only when and where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes security parameters and virtualization resource allocation based on contextual assessment. Security protocols are adjusted according to risk levels determined by device trustworthiness, network security, user permissions, and application sensitivity, rather than applying uniform high-level security across all scenarios.
2Reliability
If conventional virtualization techniques are used to secure access to protected data, then security is improved, but productivity decreases due to resource overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic workspace orchestration that adjusts virtualization resources based on contextual factors including user identity, device characteristics, network conditions, and application requirements. The system dynamically creates, modifies, or terminates workspaces rather than maintaining static virtualized environments, optimizing resource allocation while preserving security protocols only when and where needed.
3Reliability
If uniform security protocols are applied to all users and devices, then security is improved, but system complexity and administrative burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies security protocols locally rather than uniformly, tailoring security measures to specific users, devices, applications, and data sensitivity levels. The system assesses contextual factors for each access request and applies appropriate security controls, reducing unnecessary complexity while maintaining protection where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors contextual factors including device status, network conditions, user behavior, and security events, using this feedback to dynamically adjust security protocols and workspace configurations. This automated feedback loop reduces administrative burden by self-adjusting security measures based on real-time conditions.
4Reliability
If security protocols are extended to remote IHSs to enable secure remote access, then security is improved, but resource overhead and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes security parameters and virtualization resource allocation based on contextual assessment. Security protocols are adjusted according to risk levels determined by device trustworthiness, network security, user permissions, and application sensitivity, rather than applying uniform high-level security across all scenarios.

AI summary
Systems and methods for predictive workspace orchestration are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: predict, by a workspace orchestration service, instantiation of a workspace based, at least in part, upon a score associated with a client IHS; and in response to the prediction, create a workspace definition usable by the client IHS to instantiate the workspace.
