Virtual Private Zone Circuitry for Multi-Tenant Cloud Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud computing systems face challenges in efficiently exposing cloud infrastructure resources to tenants in a multi-tenant software system, leading to complexities in resource management and allocation.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a virtual private zone (VPZ) generation circuitry that allows service providers to bundle and allocate cloud infrastructure resources as virtual private zones, enabling tenants to access isolated and customized resource environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If cloud infrastructure resources are directly exposed to tenants in a multi-tenant system, then resource accessibility and scalability are improved, but system complexity and management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a resource abstraction layer that acts as an intermediary between the physical cloud infrastructure and tenants. This abstraction layer presents simplified virtual resource interfaces to tenants while managing the complex underlying physical resources, thereby improving resource allocation efficiency without exposing tenants to system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the cloud infrastructure into distinct virtual resource pools that can be independently allocated to different tenants. By dividing the complex infrastructure into manageable virtual segments, the system achieves efficient resource allocation while maintaining simplified management through modular virtual resource units.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cloud resources are virtualized and pooled for multi-tenant access, then resource utilization and scalability improve, but isolation and security management become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements strong tenant isolation by segmenting virtual resource pools into dedicated allocations for each tenant. Each tenant receives guaranteed resource quotas and isolated access paths, ensuring that multi-tenant flexibility does not compromise isolation reliability or security boundaries.
3Productivity
If standardized racks and frames are used for cloud infrastructure, then deployment efficiency and space utilization improve, but adaptability to different configurations decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation within standardized rack and frame structures. While the physical infrastructure maintains standardized configurations for efficient deployment, the virtual resource allocation dynamically adapts to different tenant requirements through software-defined resource management, thereby achieving both deployment efficiency and configuration flexibility.
