Proxy Server Management Interface for Multi-Tenant Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing multiple proxy servers in a multi-tenant database system is difficult and time-consuming due to the competing demands of integration and isolation, as well as the need to handle requests efficiently to reduce strain on application servers.
Innovation Solution
A proxy management interface is provided by an application server that allows simultaneous management of multiple proxy servers through a single command, generating and transmitting identical or customized commands to each server for contemporaneous processing, thereby reducing the administrative burden and increasing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple proxy servers are managed individually, then each server can be controlled precisely, but the administrative time and effort required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual proxy server management operations into a single unified management interface. The system allows administrators to send a single command that is automatically distributed to and executed on multiple proxy servers simultaneously, eliminating the need to manage each server individually and significantly reducing administrative time and effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The management system provides universal control capabilities that can manage multiple types of proxy servers through a single interface. The system generates and transmits commands that can be executed across different proxy servers with varying configurations, making the management approach applicable to diverse server environments without requiring separate management procedures for each server type.
2Productivity
If proxy servers are used to reduce strain on application servers, then system performance improves, but the complexity of managing these proxy servers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary management system that sits between the administrators and the multiple proxy servers. This intermediary automatically generates, distributes, and coordinates commands across the proxy server fleet, simplifying the management interface while maintaining control over the complex multi-server infrastructure. The intermediary handles the complexity of coordinating multiple servers transparently to the user.
3Reliability
If commands are sent to each proxy server sequentially, then each command can be processed individually, but the overall execution time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the command execution process into independent parallel tasks that can be distributed to different proxy servers simultaneously. Each proxy server receives and processes its assigned command independently, allowing parallel execution while maintaining individual command processing integrity. This segmentation enables both high-speed parallel processing and reliable individual command handling.

AI summary
A system and method for managing a plurality of proxy servers in a multi-tenant database system is provided. The method, for example, may include, but is not limited to, receiving, by a processor, a first command, generating, by the processor, a second command for each of the plurality of proxy servers based upon the first command, and transmitting each of the generated second commands to the respective proxy server.
