Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to enhancing redundancy of computer systems. The disclosure provides a system architecture for maintaining operation of computer systems despite technical and infrastructure failures, such as a server going offline or losing network connections. The described architecture may include a digital twin that models the computer system. The digital twin may simulate evolution of data records and use the simulated data records to process computing tasks submitted to the unavailable computer system despite no access to the computer system.
Claims20
A redundant technology infrastructure comprising:
- a primary computer system;
- a physical-virtual connection;
- and
- a digital twin of the primary computer system that:
- receives state information from the primary computer system using the physical-virtual connection;
- in response to detecting that the primary computer system is offline, generates an output to a computing task addressed to the primary computer system using simulated data generated based on the state information;
- and
- communicates the output to a requesting computer system using the physical-virtual connection.
A redundant technology infrastructure comprising:
- a primary computer system;
- a physical-virtual connection;
- and
- an artificial intelligence (“AI”) engine that is configured to:
- capture first state information from the primary computer system using the physical-virtual connection;
- construct a first digital twin of the primary computer system based on the first state information;
- determine a threshold fidelity level for the first digital twin;
- determine a target time when the first digital twin will fall below the threshold fidelity level;
- and
- before the target time, construct a second digital twin based on second state information captured using the physical-virtual connection;
- wherein the second digital twin will fall below the threshold fidelity level after the target time.
A method for providing redundant computing processing in response to an infrastructure failure, the method comprising:
- using a plurality of edge sensors, capturing performance metrics associated with components of a primary computer system;
- constructing a digital twin of the primary computer system based on the performance metrics;
- detecting that the primary computer system is offline;
- and
- for a target duration after detecting that the primary computer system is offline:
- redirecting a computing task addressed to the primary computer system to the digital twin;
- and
- providing a response to the computing task based on simulated data generated by the digital twin.
