Experience Based Dispatch of Regulated Workloads in a Cloud Environment - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946097 titled 'Experience Based Dispatch of Regulated Workloads in a Cloud Environment

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a mechanism for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. When a request with an identity is received, it is dispatched to a service instance within a specific data storage boundary. If the service instance cannot access the data due to being associated with a different boundary, a dynamic dispatch rule is generated to direct subsequent requests to the appropriate service instance.

  • Mechanism for dispatching requests based on data storage boundaries
  • Requests with specific identities are sent to service instances within defined boundaries
  • Dynamic dispatch rules are generated to handle requests for data across different boundaries

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries where data storage boundaries are crucial, such as healthcare, finance, and government sectors.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient routing of requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries 2. Ensuring data security and compliance with regulations regarding data storage

Benefits

1. Improved data security and compliance 2. Streamlined request processing and routing 3. Enhanced efficiency in managing data across different storage boundaries

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing data management in industries with strict data storage regulations

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include existing systems for routing requests based on data storage boundaries, but the specific mechanism described in the patent application appears to be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle requests for data that do not fall within any defined storage boundary?

The patent application does not provide details on how requests for data outside defined boundaries are handled.

What measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the dynamic dispatch rules generated by the system?

The patent application does not elaborate on the security protocols for managing and executing dynamic dispatch rules.


Original Abstract Submitted

Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.
