SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERS AND DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111705 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERS AND DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems through sideband communications facilitated by a management controller hosted by the system.

  • The management controller communicates with other components of the data processing system via sideband communications.
  • The data processing system includes a sideband communication system to facilitate these communications.
  • The sideband communication system enables communication between devices over large distances and under challenging conditions.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, networking, and data centers for efficient management of data processing systems.

Problems Solved

1. Facilitates communication between components of data processing systems over large distances. 2. Enables communication under challenging conditions that may otherwise render communications infeasible.

Benefits

1. Improved management and operation of data processing systems. 2. Enhanced efficiency in communication between system components. 3. Increased reliability in data processing system operations.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing data center operations, improving network management, enhancing telecommunications systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of sideband communications in networking systems to facilitate communication between devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact cybersecurity in data processing systems?

This technology could potentially enhance cybersecurity by enabling efficient communication for monitoring and managing security measures within data processing systems.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology in large-scale data processing systems?

The scalability of this technology in managing and communicating with a large number of devices within extensive data processing systems could be a potential limitation that needs further exploration.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. to manage the operation of data processing systems, a management controller hosted by a data processing system may communicate with other components of the data processing system via sideband communications. to facilitate sideband communications between the management controller and other devices, the data processing system may include a sideband communication system. the sideband communication system may facilitate sideband communications between devices over large distances and/or under conditions that may otherwise render the sideband communications infeasible.
