DYNAMIC ON-DEMAND DATACENTER CREATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17732050 titled 'DYNAMIC ON-DEMAND DATACENTER CREATION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a system for creating datacenters on-demand by combining the memory and processing power of multiple devices into "cloudlets". - Cloudlets can function as datacenters by utilizing the resources of multiple devices in close proximity to process workloads for users. - The combination of devices in a cloudlet determines the level of computing resources available for different applications. - By being located close to the users, cloudlets reduce latency in processing data. - The use of multiple devices in a cloudlet allows for a smaller physical footprint and lower energy requirements to meet the computing demands.

Original Abstract Submitted

A system for dynamically creating datacenters is provided, which creates on-demand datacenters where and when they are needed by federating the memory and processing power of subscribing devices into “cloudlets.” A cloudlet may serve as an on-demand datacenter, based on the combined storage, memory, and compute resources of a plurality of federated computing devices, for processing workloads of tenants in proximity to the cloudlet. Depending on the combination of federated devices, cloudlets may provide different levels of on-demand computing resources to a variety of applications. Due to proximity of the datacenter to the demand, latency is reduced; and due to combined computing power of multiple distributed devices, demand can be met with a smaller physical footprint and reduced energy requirements.
