Connectivity Management System Client Module Update and Failure Recovery - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875643 titled 'Connectivity Management System Client Module Update and Failure Recovery

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system, method, and computer-readable medium for managing connectivity in a data center. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system involves a data center asset with a client module and a connectivity management system with an aggregator.
  • The client module is connected to the connectivity management system.
  • The client module is updated to a new version, which includes new state and connectivity information.
  • The new connectivity information is provided to the connectivity management system aggregator.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data center management: The system can be used to efficiently manage connectivity in data centers, ensuring smooth operations and effective resource allocation.
  • Asset tracking: The system can track the state and connectivity information of data center assets, providing valuable insights for asset management and maintenance.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Manual updates: The system automates the process of updating the client module, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing the risk of errors.
  • Connectivity management: The system simplifies the management of connectivity in data centers, making it easier to monitor and control the network infrastructure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: The automated updates and streamlined connectivity management result in improved efficiency and reduced downtime in data centers.
  • Enhanced asset management: The system provides accurate and up-to-date information about the state and connectivity of data center assets, enabling better asset management decisions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a data center connectivity management operation. The connectivity management operation includes: providing a data center asset with a data center asset client module; establishing a connection between the data center asset client module and a connectivity management system, the connectivity management system comprising a connectivity management system aggregator; updating the data center asset client module to a new version of the data center asset client module, the new version of the data center asset client module including new data center asset module state information and new data center asset connectivity information; and, providing the connectivity management system aggregator with the new data center asset module connectivity information.
