Connectivity Management Environment Endpoint Discovery via Connectivity Management System Client - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877621 titled 'Connectivity Management Environment Endpoint Discovery via Connectivity Management System Client
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:
- A data center asset is provided with a client module.
- A connection is established between the client module and a connectivity management system.
- The connectivity management system includes an aggregator.
- The system determines if an endpoint is connected to the client module.
- Interconnectivity information associated with the client module and the endpoint is identified.
- The interconnectivity 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 and monitor connectivity within a data center, ensuring optimal performance and resource allocation.
- Network troubleshooting: The system can help identify and resolve connectivity issues between data center assets and endpoints, improving network reliability and reducing downtime.
- Asset tracking: By providing interconnectivity information, the system can assist in tracking and managing the physical location and connections of data center assets.
