TECHNIQUES FOR EXCESS RESOURCE UTILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18528131 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR EXCESS RESOURCE UTILIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for utilizing excess resources in a cloud system by enabling an auxiliary resource utilizer to use resources not needed by primary resource utilizers. Excess capacity of resources in the cloud system can be identified and allocated to auxiliary resource utilizers based on policies, with excess resources determined by monitoring utilization of cloud resources by primary resource utilizers.

Identifying and allocating excess capacity of resources in a cloud system to auxiliary resource utilizers based on policies
Determining excess resources in the cloud system by monitoring utilization of cloud resources by primary resource utilizers
Allocating excess resources to compliant auxiliary resource utilizers

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as:

Cloud computing
Data centers
IT infrastructure management

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

Efficient resource utilization
Cost optimization
Improving overall system performance

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

Maximizing resource usage
Reducing wastage of resources
Enhancing system scalability and flexibility

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing resource allocation in cloud systems can be beneficial for:

Cloud service providers
Enterprises with large IT infrastructure
Organizations with fluctuating resource demands

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the concept of resource pooling in cloud computing, where resources are shared among multiple users to improve utilization efficiency.

What are the potential security implications of allocating excess resources to auxiliary resource utilizers?

Allocating excess resources to auxiliary resource utilizers may raise security concerns such as unauthorized access to sensitive data or potential breaches if proper access controls are not in place.

How does this technology impact the overall cost of resource management in a cloud system?

This technology can help in reducing costs by ensuring efficient utilization of resources and avoiding unnecessary expenses on underutilized resources.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques to utilize excess resources in a cloud system, such as by enabling an auxiliary resource utilizer to use resources while they are not needed to support primary resource utilizers, are described herein. Some embodiments are directed to identifying and allocating excess capacity of resources in a cloud system to auxiliary resource utilizers based on one or more policies. In various embodiments, excess resources in one or more of the set of resources in the cloud system, or cloud resources, may be determined based on monitoring utilization of the cloud resources by the primary resource utilizers. In many embodiments, an auxiliary resource utilizer that is in compliance with a set of utilization policies may be identified and the excess resources may be allocated to the auxiliary resource utilizer.
