Server rating system for authorizing and entitling servers to transfer data

摘要

Management over data movement/transfer is accomplished by employing a data transmission rating system that assigns a data transmission rating to each server in the enterprise-wide communication network and subsequently makes determinations as to whether a data connection can be established between two or more servers based on the assigned data transmission rating. The enterprise-wide servers may be assigned a primary data transmission rating based on the type of data that the server is authorized to exchange and, optionally, the servers are assigned a secondary data transmission rating, (or a tertiary rating and so on) based on the geographic/physical location of the server. In this regard, in order for a data connection to be established between the two or more servers, the primary rating, and in those embodiments that implement a secondary rating, a tertiary rating and so on, must be determined to be authorized for establishing a data connection.

主权项

1. A system for transferring data and conducting transactions amongst a network of enterprise-wide servers, the system comprising:
a distributed network of servers, wherein each server has an assigned data transmission rating, wherein the data transmission rating is based at least on a type of data that a server is authorized to exchange; an operating system-agnostic, modular-based, service delivery application stored in network memory, executable by a processor and including a data transfer module configured to establish data connections between a plurality of servers in the enterprise; and a service delivery management application stored in network memory, executable by a processor and configured to manage services delivered by the service delivery application, including manage assignment of data transmission ratings to each of the servers and determine whether a data connection can be established between two or more of the servers for transferring data or conducting a data transaction based at least on the data transmission rating assigned to the servers.
