Mega Data Center Using Mini-cloud Host in Residential Environment

摘要

This invention presents a novel way to create a mega data center utilizing unused spare capacity in residential mini-cloud host devices. The host device is implemented using a novel approach in this invention. Part of the host devices is used to support residential user's home computing need. Unused capacity is then exposed to a subscription system that can lease that capacity back to other users in need. The system effectively creates an abstraction of a mega data center connecting millions of residential host devices interconnected to each other. The system provides similar infrastructure a data center provides with a minimal physical centralized infrastructure presence.

主权项

1. A subscription system to facilitate creation of a large data center with minimal physical presence comprising:
a set of mini-cloud host devices, each mini-cloud host device residing on residential settings comprising a hypervisor for hosting one or more guest virtual machine; a step to create and configure one or more virtual machine hosted on said mini-cloud host device; a step to connect a configured virtual machine to a thin terminal; a user subscription process to facilitate users to configure mini-cloud host, user subscription process comprising:
a step user configure a set of virtual machine to be used inside his home;a step user configure a set of virtual machine to be used by external users; two sets of users who subscribe into the system, wherein first set of users make at least part of their mini-cloud host resources to be consumed by second set of users.
