SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLOUD-BASED REPLICATION OF DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045884 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLOUD-BASED REPLICATION OF DATA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a system and method for replicating data in a cloud environment. It involves accessing a virtual table definition and a data collection definition, creating a virtual table based on the definitions, and sending the virtual table and mapping to a cloud computing environment. The virtual table fields are stored as physical table fields in a cloud-hosted database.

  • The system allows for the replication of data in a cloud environment.
  • It involves accessing a virtual table definition and a data collection definition.
  • A virtual table is automatically created based on the definitions.
  • The virtual table is populated with the data of interest according to the data collection definition.
  • The virtual table and mapping are sent to a cloud computing environment.
  • The virtual table fields are stored as physical table fields in a cloud-hosted database.
  • The physical table fields have the target data types specified in the virtual table definition.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data replication and synchronization in cloud environments.
  • Database management and organization in cloud computing.
  • Data migration and integration between different cloud platforms.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient replication and storage of data in a cloud environment.
  • Simplified management and organization of databases in the cloud.
  • Seamless data migration and integration between different cloud platforms.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved data availability and reliability in cloud environments.
  • Simplified and automated data replication processes.
  • Flexibility in managing and organizing data in the cloud.
  • Enhanced scalability and performance in cloud-based databases.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments provide systems, methods and computer program products for cloud replication of data. one embodiment includes, accessing a virtual table definition and a data collection definition, the virtual table definition comprising a definition of a set of virtual table fields and a mapping of the set of virtual table fields to a set of target data types; automatically creating a virtual table according to the virtual table definition, the virtual table comprising the set of virtual table fields populated with the data of interest according to the data collection definition; and sending the virtual table and the mapping to a cloud computing environment. one embodiment further includes, in the cloud computing environment, storing the set of virtual table fields as a set of physical table fields in a physical table in a cloud hosted database, the set of physical table fields having the set of target data types.
