DATABASE REPLICATION USING A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303252 titled 'DATABASE REPLICATION USING A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT NODE
The abstract describes a method for database replication involving the reconfiguration of a database instance from one network deployment to another.
- Detecting a request to make a database instance available at a different network deployment.
- Provisioning the second network deployment with data objects, including a database shell.
- Reconfiguring the database shell to become the database instance by pushing data into it.
- Authorizing access to the database instance based on specific data objects.
Potential Applications: - Data backup and disaster recovery - Load balancing and high availability in distributed systems - Data migration between different network deployments
Problems Solved: - Efficient database replication across network deployments - Seamless transition of database instances - Secure access control to replicated databases
Benefits: - Improved data redundancy and fault tolerance - Simplified database management and administration - Enhanced data availability and accessibility
Commercial Applications: Title: "Database Replication Technology for Enhanced Data Management" This technology can be utilized in cloud computing, data centers, and enterprise IT environments to ensure data consistency and availability across multiple locations.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing patents related to database replication, data synchronization, and network provisioning to understand the evolution of similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in database replication techniques, network virtualization, and data security protocols to enhance the efficiency and security of replicated databases.
Questions about Database Replication: 1. How does this method improve data availability and accessibility in distributed systems? - This method enhances data availability by replicating database instances across different network deployments, ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance.
2. What are the key security measures implemented to authorize access to replicated databases? - Access to the replicated database instances is authorized based on specific data objects provisioned during the replication process, ensuring secure access control.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for database replication include a method performed by at least one hardware processor of a resource management node. the method includes detecting a request that a database instance of a database stored at a first network deployment is available at a second network deployment. responsive to the request, the second network deployment is provisioned with a plurality of data objects. a first data object of the plurality of data objects includes a database shell. the database shell is reconfigured as the database instance of the database based on pushing data of the database into the database shell. access to the database instance at the second network deployment is authorized based on at least a second data object of the plurality of data objects.
