Virtual infrastructure manager enhancements for remote edge cloud deployments

This invention describes a central system that helps manage many small, local computer centers, specifically those used for mobile network functions like 5G. It oversees the virtual services running on these local centers, which are called multi-access edge compute (MEC) nodes, to ensure they efficiently handle tasks for mobile users. The system also handles how data is stored for these services, often using a flexible object storage method.

Why it matters: Filed as 5G and edge computing were gaining momentum. The continued global expansion of 5G networks and the increasing adoption of Open RAN architectures since 2021 make efficient management of virtualized radio access network functions at the edge even more critical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComplex orchestration software, virtualization, network integration.
