Virtual Cloud Node Protocol Conversion for On-Premise Scalability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
On-premise computing environments lack scalability and integration with cloud computing environments, limiting their ability to leverage cloud resources while maintaining control and security.
Innovation Solution
A virtual cloud node is introduced within an on-premise computing environment, acting as a proxy and protocol converter between cloud and on-premise systems, enabling seamless communication and data processing using protocols like SOAP and CORBA, and facilitating the extension of on-premise installations to cloud services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If on-premise computing environments use dedicated local servers, then control and security are improved, but scalability and integration with cloud services deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A virtual cloud node is introduced as an intermediary component within the on-premise environment that bridges local servers and cloud services. This virtual node enables communication and data exchange between the on-premise CORBA-based system and cloud SOAP-based services without requiring fundamental changes to the existing on-premise architecture, thus maintaining control and security while enabling cloud scalability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If on-premise systems use CORBA protocol, then existing system operation is maintained, but compatibility with cloud SOAP services deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual cloud node performs protocol parameter transformation by converting CORBA protocol parameters to SOAP protocol parameters and vice versa. This allows the on-premise system to continue using CORBA while the virtual node translates communications to SOAP for cloud service compatibility, resolving the protocol incompatibility without changing the core on-premise system operation.
3Productivity
If cloud computing resources are integrated, then scalability is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The protocol conversion and cloud integration complexity is extracted from the core on-premise server system and consolidated into a dedicated virtual cloud node. This separation allows the on-premise system to maintain its simple CORBA-based operation while the virtual node handles all complex protocol translation and cloud communication tasks independently.
Data Source
AI summary
Data packets are received by a virtual cloud node from a cloud server. The virtual cloud node is one of a plurality of computing nodes forming part of an on-premise computing environment. Each of the computing nodes include at least one computing device and executed a plurality of servers with one of the servers being a central management server. Thereafter, the virtual cloud node converts the data packets from a first protocol compatible with the cloud server to a second protocol. The central management server routes the converted data packets to another one of the computing nodes for processing or consumption.
