CLIENT ISOLATION INTERNAL/EXTERNAL FABRIC LCS PROVISIONING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849881 titled 'CLIENT ISOLATION INTERNAL/EXTERNAL FABRIC LCS PROVISIONING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for provisioning a client-isolation internal/external fabric LCS (Logical Communication Service) using an orchestrator device. The system includes an external fabric connecting the orchestrator device to the client device, and an internal fabric connecting the orchestrator device to resource devices. The client device can access the LCS provided by the configured resource devices via the external fabric.
- The system includes an orchestrator device that configures resource devices to communicate with each other based on the workload intent requested by the client device.
- The orchestrator device presents the LCS provided by the configured resource devices to the client device via the external fabric.
- The orchestrator device can receive LCS communications from the client device via the external fabric and provide instructions to the resource devices via the internal fabric to perform specific functions for the LCS.
Potential Applications
- This system can be used in cloud computing environments to provision and manage logical communication services for clients.
- It can be applied in network virtualization scenarios to isolate and control communication between different clients and resources.
- The system can be utilized in software-defined networking (SDN) architectures to dynamically configure and manage communication services.
Problems Solved
- The system solves the problem of isolating client devices from the internal fabric while still allowing them to access the LCS provided by the resource devices.
- It addresses the challenge of configuring resource devices to communicate with each other based on the workload intent requested by the client device.
- The system solves the problem of managing and controlling LCS communications between the client device and the resource devices.
Benefits
- The system provides a secure and isolated environment for clients to access the LCS without having direct access to the internal fabric.
- It enables efficient provisioning and management of logical communication services for clients.
- The system allows for dynamic configuration and control of LCS communications based on client requests.
Original Abstract Submitted
A client-isolation internal/external fabric LCS provisioning system includes an orchestrator device coupled to a client device via an external fabric, and coupled to resource devices via an internal fabric that is not accessible to the client device via the external fabric. The orchestrator device configures the resource devices to communicate with each other in a manner that satisfies a workload intent for a workload requested by the client device, and presents an LCS provided using the configured resource devices to the client device via the external fabric. When the orchestrator device receives LCS communication(s) directed to the LCS from the client device via the external fabric, it provides instruction(s) to at least one of the resource devices via the internal fabric that are based on the LCS communication and that are configured to cause the at least one of the resource devices to perform function(s) for the LCS.
