In addition to providing low-cost, ultra-low-power microprocessors, the micro servers are configured with universal Intel Atom processors or ARM CPU-based servers that perform as well as the general purpose servers used in IDC centers. Save.

Microservers are designed to run on an application framework module basis, which enables them to dynamically install, delete, and update applications.

For example, a module based on the OSGi framework can be constructed to implement a dynamic SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) based component model. That is, an application or component (bundle) can be installed, started, stopped, updated, and uninstalled via a remote location without rebooting the server. Examples of applications or bundles include email servers, web servers, DNS servers, or storage servers.

The application framework module may be designed to perform the function of loading a user-created application application in a micro server.

For example, the OSGi framework and the Spring framework may be implemented together to implement the above functions.

The remote device management server is configured to include a remote device management module 100, a notification server module, a customer account management module, a bundle repository module, a firmware management module for micro server, and a DDNS server module, And the micro server is configured to be remotely managed.

The remote device management server mainly performs configuration management, state management, remote management, fault management, and control functions of the micro server.

The configuration management manages and stores the various configuration information necessary for operating the micro server in the remote device management server, and manages to return to the previously set value even if the small enterprise erroneously sets it.

The state management is defined as a management object (MO: Managed Object) necessary for operating the micro server, and the current state value is continuously checked with respect to the object to be managed. If the state is out of the set threshold value, Make trouble handling.

Remote management refers to the function of continuously checking and controlling the management object of the micro server.

Fault management refers to the function of managing the failure of the micro server, such as registering as a fault management object when the abnormal operation of the micro server is confirmed, and sending the e-mail and SMS to the small company through the notification server about the fault. Here, the micro server is managed by CPU, memory, disk, POWER, peripherals, etc., which is defined as a managed object (MO: MANAGED OBJECT) of the TR-069 protocol.

The control function is a function to control the micro server, for example, a remote reboot of a micro server, a remote shutdown and a disk cleanup.

The remote device management module 100 includes a micro server control module, a management object automatic registration and inquiry module, a real time inquiry and control module, a bundle repository management module, a terminal provisioning and history management module, a real time failure / hacking monitoring module, .

The local management is a function that allows a user to recognize and check a management target managed by the micro server, and is performed in cooperation with the local server management module 200 of the micro server.

Prior to describing the remote device management module 100 and the local server management module 200, a function of managing the micro server through the TR-069 protocol in cooperation with the ACS server and the stern server is described first Describe.

FIG. 4 illustrates a process of registering a micro server with a stern server at the time of booting, and FIG. 5 illustrates a process of using a stern server when a remote device management server requests a micro server.

The stern server is intended to be able to find out whether the micro server in NAT (NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATORS) environment has NAT, NAT public IP address, and UDP port of micro server .

The STUN server must be located on the public IP network because a micro server may be located behind the NAT device.

Basic communication is a form in which a micro server makes a request and a stun server responds. If the micro server is located behind a NAT device, the micro server will not know its real public IP address and will ask the STUN server what its public IP is.

The STUN server compares the Layer 3/4 IP address and port number to the IP address and port number in the payload of the STUN packet and then binds the two addresses to the database. The STUN server replies the binding information to the microserver so that the microserver can exchange it with the public IP address and send the request to the microserver from the remote device management server.

That is, by using the stern server, the micro server can be remotely managed even though the micro server is located in a private network or a public network.

6 is a diagram illustrating a process of communicating between the micro server and the ACS server using the TR-069 protocol.

The TR-069 protocol enables communication between customer-premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) based on two-way SOAP / HTTP. It also provides secure autoconfiguration and allows you to control and operate other CPE management functions within the remote device environment. By using TR-069 protocol, managed objects and peripherals will be connected to ACS and automatically receive necessary settings. By doing so, it becomes possible to use necessary services without setting the user separately.

The remote device management server uses the ACS server using the TR-069 protocol and provides services to the micro server. That is, the status of the micro server is sent to the remote device management server, and the remote device management server performs the configuration management, status management, fault management and control functions of the micro server.

7 is a diagram showing a terminal control function of the remote device management module 100. As shown in FIG.

The remote device management module 100 can inquire or control the setting information of the terminal through the micro server control function. The terminal control function inquires the command registered in the database in the request management module and requests processing for control by the control request module. The control request module calls the terminal control REST API defined in the ACS server. The called ACS server confirms the network environment information of the terminal to be controlled and sends a terminal call request to the STUN server. A terminal called from the STUN server creates a session with the ACS server, receives a control command to be transmitted, and sends a result. The results collected from the ACS server are stored in the database and the terminal control module informs the completion of the processing. The terminal control module can inquire the collection result in the database when the processing is completed.

Here, 'terminal' means an object to be controlled by the remote device management module 100, and means a micro server, a management object, and / or a peripheral device.

8 is a diagram showing a management object automatic registration and inquiry function of the remote device management module 100. As shown in FIG.

The remote device management server can manually register a micro server to be managed, but it can automatically register a micro server connected to the remote device server. The micro server is supposed to send an inform message to the ACS server according to the TR-069 standard. When the inform processing module receives the inform message, it performs a provisioning procedure. At this time, it is checked whether the micro server is a registered micro server. If the inform processing module is an unregistered micro server, the micro server information is automatically registered . In order to inquire about the status of unregistered micro servers, the administrator can inquire the unregistered micro server by the unregistered micro server inquiry function.

9 is a diagram showing a real-time inquiry and control function of the remote device management module 100. As shown in FIG.

The administrator can transmit the real-time inquiry and control command to the terminal through the real-time inquiry and control web screen of the remote device management server. Selects the item to be inquired or controlled on the screen, and transmits the inquiry / control command to the inquiry control module. The query control management module writes the received command to the database and requests the ACS server to call the REST API for the inquiry / control request. The ACS server inquires the commands recorded in the database and sends the commands to the micro server together with the STUN server.

The micro server receives the command, performs the inquiry and control functions, and returns the result. The returned results are stored in the DB and displayed on the Web screen as a result.

The remote device management server provides a bundle repository management function that allows the micro server to download and update the bundle package. The administrator can inquire the registered bundle list through the bundle management function of the remote device management server. The list of bundles stored in the database is displayed on the screen, and requests for modification and deletion of new bundles or registered bundles are processed by the bundle service module. Upon receiving the bundle registration and deletion request, the bundle service module processes the request itself and updates the database. The micro server can request the bundle list to the bundle service module and inquire the supported bundle list.

10 is a diagram illustrating the terminal provisioning and history management functions of the remote device management module 100. As shown in FIG.

The microserver must periodically check with the remote device management server through the provisioning procedure to determine whether it is authentic. The microserver periodically sends an inform message to the ACS server for provisioning to attempt provisioning. The inform processing module checks the event type of the inform message and confirms the provisioning information. The provisioning module inquires the provisioning setting information, inquires the registered setting information, and returns a URL for downloading the setting file. The micro server downloads the configuration file through the returned URL and completes the provisioning.

Looking at the real-time failure / hacking monitoring function, the micro server must transmit the log to the remote device management server when an abnormality is detected during system monitoring.

The report receiving module of the remote device management server parses and analyzes the log sent by the micro server, and stores the result. The stored logs can be checked by the administrator by viewing the current data on the real-time status monitoring screen.

When the micro server failure / hacking detection report is confirmed by the real time monitoring function of the remote device server, it requests the notification server module to send an alarm according to whether the micro server has an alarm or not. The notification server module stores in the SMS alarm table for processing by the SMS alarm server. The stored SMS alarm is retrieved by the SMS server, sent, and stored in the DB.

The functions of the local server management module 200 included in the micro server will now be described.

First, the system environment setting module performs a function to set the basic environment of the micro server. For example, you can set the server name, management port, security settings, and so on.

The web service configuration module provides configuration functions for various web services (web server, mail server, etc.) provided by the micro server.

The network management function is to manage the status information of the network status in the micro server. For example, it can manage network status, traffic inquiry, inquiry number, traffic overflow IP inquiry, connection blocking IP setting, and so on.

The system monitoring module is a function that can monitor the micro server's overall system summary and status. For example, it can manage system resource monitoring, management log inquiry, fault status monitoring, and so on.

The bundle management module functions to manage the bundled application on the micro server. For example, it may include a list of bundled installations, deletions, list views, and so on.

The notification server module, the client account management module, the bundle repository module, the firmware management module, and the DDNS server module included in the remote device management server will be described below.

The notification server module consists of an e-mail server and an SMS (short message) server. The e-mail server is responsible for receiving micro-server buyer e-mails or e-mails from the buyer. The SMS server is responsible for informing the micro server purchaser or sending a notification message for safe use of the purchased micro server.

The customer account management module is an account management system for users who purchase a micro server, and manages information of small businesses. The management information is a buyer ID, an encrypted password, and the like. The account management module provides authorization information when requesting authentication from another module.

In the bundle repository module, a list of bundles is received from the remote device management server, and the user can selectively install necessary applications on the micro server.

Bundles are bundled into a bundle repository. When a user requests a bundle list, the server looks up the bundles in the bundle repository and creates a list and notifies the user. If you want to install the bundle you selected, the micro server will download the bundle from the bundle repository of the server and deploy it to the OSGi application framework of micro server.

The firmware management module is a module that can register and manage the firmware of the micro server. Various versions of firmware can be registered for each model and manufacturer, and the registered firmware can be distributed by the administrator. The firmware management module provides a REST API to check whether the latest firmware is registered at the time of rebooting or periodically checking the micro server. Check whether the latest firmware is registered through the REST API. If the latest firmware is registered, the URL for downloading the firmware is transmitted. The micro server can download the firmware provided in the provided URL and perform the firmware upgrade automatically.

Dynamic DNS (Dynamic DNS) is a method of updating DNS in real time. It is mainly used when the IP of the domain is flexible. Most of the micro server buyers use the private IP internet environment and should be able to use the web related modules of the micro server at any time with the domain name even if the authorized IP associated with the micro server is changed.

For this purpose, a DDNS client module is required on the micro server side and a DDNS server module is required on the server side. All microservers provide functionality for domain names to use by default.

1 to 10 illustrate only the essential features of the present invention. As far as various designs can be made within the technical scope of the present invention, the present invention is limited to the configurations and functions of Figs. 1 to 10 It is obvious that it is not.
