APPROACH TO SEAMLESSLY PROVISION IOMS NPAR CONFIGURATIONS FOR ONE OR MORE ASSOCIATED SLED(S) DURING COMPONENT OR SUBSYSTEM FAILURE FOR Mx7k CHASSIS IN DATACENTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965918 titled 'APPROACH TO SEAMLESSLY PROVISION IOMS NPAR CONFIGURATIONS FOR ONE OR MORE ASSOCIATED SLED(S) DURING COMPONENT OR SUBSYSTEM FAILURE FOR Mx7k CHASSIS IN DATACENTER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for component failure management in a hardware rack processing network data traffic. The system includes hardware components generating event data, an event manager monitoring network traffic and hardware event data for hardware failure detection, and a network optimization module determining network partition updates in response to hardware failures.
- Hardware components process network data traffic
- Hardware components generate hardware event data
- Event manager monitors network traffic and hardware event data
- Event manager determines hardware failure occurrence
- Network optimization module decides on network partition updates post hardware failure
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in data centers, telecommunications networks, and cloud computing environments to efficiently manage hardware failures and optimize network performance.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient detection and management of hardware failures in network systems 2. Optimization of network partitions in response to hardware failures
Benefits
1. Improved network reliability and uptime 2. Enhanced network performance and efficiency 3. Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized network infrastructure solutions for data centers, telecommunications companies, and cloud service providers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be fault-tolerant systems in network management that aim to minimize downtime and ensure continuous operation in the event of hardware failures.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle simultaneous hardware failures in different components?
The patent application does not specify how the system manages multiple hardware failures occurring simultaneously in different components. This aspect could be crucial in ensuring the overall network stability and performance.
What is the scalability of the system in large-scale network environments?
The scalability of the system in handling hardware failures and network optimization in extensive network setups is not addressed in the patent application. Understanding the system's capabilities in large-scale deployments is essential for its practical implementation in real-world scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for component failure management, comprising a plurality of hardware components disposed in a hardware rack and configured to process network data traffic and to generate hardware event data, an event manager coupled to the plurality of hardware components and configured to monitor the network traffic and hardware event data and to determine whether a hardware failure has occurred and a network optimization module coupled to the event manager and configured to determine whether a network partition update is required in response to the determination that a hardware failure has occurred.
