REMEDIATION ENGINE FOR UPDATING DESIRED STATE OF INVENTORY DATA TO BE REPLICATED ACROSS MULTIPLE SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATA CENTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012631 titled 'REMEDIATION ENGINE FOR UPDATING DESIRED STATE OF INVENTORY DATA TO BE REPLICATED ACROSS MULTIPLE SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATA CENTERS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for replicating inventory data of software-defined data centers (SDDCs) across a group of management appliances. The replication process involves comparing timestamps of change items with the desired state, updating the desired state with the changes, and instructing the management appliances to apply the updated desired state.

  • The patent/application is about replicating inventory data in software-defined data centers (SDDCs) across multiple management appliances.
  • The replication process involves comparing timestamps of change items and the desired state.
  • If the timestamp of a change item is later than the timestamp of the corresponding item in the desired state, the change is applied to the desired state.
  • An instruction is then issued to the management appliances to apply the updated desired state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Efficient replication of inventory data in software-defined data centers.
  • Improved management and synchronization of inventory data across multiple management appliances.
  • Streamlined updates and changes to the desired state of inventory data.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures consistency and accuracy of inventory data across multiple management appliances.
  • Reduces the risk of data discrepancies and inconsistencies in software-defined data centers.
  • Simplifies the process of updating and synchronizing inventory data in SDDCs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and reliability in managing inventory data in software-defined data centers.
  • Minimized risk of errors and inconsistencies in inventory data.
  • Streamlined updates and changes to the desired state of inventory data.
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility in managing SDDCs.


Original Abstract Submitted

inventory data of software-defined data centers (sddcs) are replicated across a group of management appliances of the sddcs according to a desired state of the inventory data. the method of replication includes the steps of: comparing a timestamp of a first change item, which contains a change to a first item of the desired state, against a timestamp of the first item of the desired state; determining that the timestamp of the first change item has a time value that is after a time value of the timestamp of the first item; updating the first item of the desired state by applying the change to the first item included in the first change item; and issuing an instruction to one or more of the management appliances in the group to apply the desired state with the updated first item.
