AGENT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT FOR BACKUP AND RESTORE APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240289235 titled 'AGENT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT FOR BACKUP AND RESTORE APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for managing the lifecycle of agents used in backup and restore applications. This system automates the selection, installation, registration, and updating of application agents on various hosts.
- Enables selection of application hosts meeting installation requirements
- Downloads instances of application agents to selected hosts in parallel
- Installs instances of application agents on selected hosts in parallel
- Registers instances of application agents with the backup and restore application in parallel
- Initiates sessions to download and install updates in instances of application agents on corresponding hosts
- Unregisters instances of application agents from hosts and decommissions hosts from protection by the backup and restore application
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries where backup and restore applications are used, such as IT, data management, and cloud computing.
Problems Solved: - Streamlines the process of managing application agents in backup and restore applications - Automates the selection, installation, registration, and updating of agents - Improves efficiency and reduces manual intervention in agent lifecycle management
Benefits: - Increases productivity by automating repetitive tasks - Enhances system reliability and data protection - Reduces the risk of human error in agent management processes
Commercial Applications: The system can be utilized by IT companies, data centers, cloud service providers, and any organization that relies on backup and restore applications for data protection and recovery.
Questions about agent lifecycle management for backup and restore applications: 1. How does the system ensure the compatibility of application hosts with the installation requirements? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with automating agent lifecycle management in backup and restore applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
agent lifecycle management for backup and restore applications is described. a system enables selection of application hosts, each of which meets installation requirements for installing instances of application agents from a backup and restore application, then downloads, in parallel, the instances of the application agent to the corresponding selected application hosts. the system installs, in parallel, the instances of the application agent in the corresponding selected application hosts, then registers, in parallel, the instances of the application agent with the backup and restore application. the system subsequently initiates sessions which download and install, in parallel, an update in instances of the application agent in in corresponding application hosts. the system unregisters at least one of the instances of the application agent, in at least one application host, from the backup and restore application. the system decommissions the at least one application host from protection by the backup and restore application.
