AIRBORNE DATACENTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17551145 titled 'AIRBORNE DATACENTER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an airborne datacenter (ADC) device that includes a datacenter assembly component (DAC) and a drive apparatus. The DAC is responsible for provisioning the ADC, performing datacenter operations, and decommissioning the ADC. The DAC includes digital processing equipment to perform business functions.

  • The ADC device is capable of provisioning itself by receiving business functions and configuration information from a provisioning center over a network.
  • The ADC device can perform datacenter operations by receiving processing results from another ADC within a fleet of ADCs, using these results along with its business functions, and forwarding the processing results to a land-based enterprise over the network.
  • The ADC device can be decommissioned by transferring runtime information and deleting it from the ADC.
  • The DAC component of the ADC device includes digital processing equipment that enables it to perform the business functions.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in remote or inaccessible areas where traditional datacenters are not feasible.
  • It can be employed in disaster-stricken areas where quick deployment of datacenter capabilities is required.
  • The ADC device can be utilized for military operations, providing on-demand datacenter capabilities in the field.

Problems Solved

  • The ADC device solves the problem of limited access to datacenter capabilities in remote or disaster-stricken areas.
  • It addresses the need for quick deployment of datacenter capabilities in emergency situations.
  • The ADC device solves the challenge of providing datacenter capabilities in military operations where traditional infrastructure may not be available.

Benefits

  • The ADC device allows for self-provisioning, reducing the need for manual configuration and setup.
  • It enables datacenter operations to be performed in remote or inaccessible areas, improving accessibility to computing resources.
  • The ADC device offers flexibility and scalability, as it can be easily decommissioned and transferred to different locations as needed.


Original Abstract Submitted

An airborne datacenter (ADC) device includes a datacenter assembly component (DAC) and a drive apparatus. The DAC is configured to perform: provisioning the ADC including receiving, in response to a provision request, business functions and configuration information from a provisioning center connected to the ADC over a network and self-configuring the ADC with the business functions and the configuration information; datacenter operations with the ADC including receiving, from another ADC within a fleet of ADCs and over the network, processing results generated by the another ADC, performing the datacenter operations using the business functions and the processing results generated by the another ADC, and forwarding processing results of the datacenter operations to a land-based enterprise over the network; and decommissioning the ADC including transferring runtime information of the ADC, and deleting the runtime information from the ADC. The DAC includes digital processing equipment configured to perform the business functions.
