CROSS-REGION SOFTWARE FAILURE RECOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248789 titled 'CROSS-REGION SOFTWARE FAILURE RECOVERY
Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses techniques for software failover across multiple computing regions. Software entities in one region implement failure recovery routines as needed, subscribing to receive failure notifications. When a regional failure is detected, a notification is sent, and recovery routines are initiated for the affected entities to failover to another region.
- Software entities in a computing region implement failure recovery routines on an as-needed basis.
- Entities subscribe to receive failure notifications for the region.
- When a regional failure is detected, recovery routines are initiated for the affected entities to failover to a different region.
- Software entities can handle failover for dependent components, ensuring a smooth transition for all constituent parts of a software product.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and distributed systems where seamless failover is crucial for maintaining system reliability and availability.
Problems Solved: - Ensures quick and efficient failover across multiple computing regions. - Minimizes downtime and disruption in the event of a regional failure. - Provides a systematic approach to handle failover for dependent software components.
Benefits: - Improved system reliability and availability. - Enhanced disaster recovery capabilities. - Simplified management of failover processes for software entities.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be valuable for cloud service providers, large enterprises with geographically distributed systems, and any organization requiring robust failover mechanisms for their software applications.
Questions about Software Failover Across Multiple Computing Regions: 1. How does this technology improve system reliability in distributed computing environments? 2. What are the key benefits of using software failover mechanisms across multiple regions?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in cloud computing failover mechanisms and disaster recovery solutions to enhance system resilience and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are disclosed relating to software failover across multiple computing regions. software entities in a first computing region implement failure recovery routines on an as-needed basis, which can include utilizing code in a recovery api. these software entities can subscribe to receive failure notifications for that region. when an indication of a regional failure is received (e.g., indicating that some specified threshold of servers in the first computing region have failed or are likely to fail), a failure notification can be published. the computing region can then use a list of subscribing software entities to initiate recovery routines for those entities to failover to a different one of the computing regions. in some implementations, software entities can handle failover for dependent components. thus, when failover is initiated for a particular software product, the product can initiate failover for any constituent components (e.g., services that make up the software product).
