Corresponding to steps S201 to S212 of the above-mentioned FIG. 2, the following are examples of implementation of the present invention.

First, it is necessary to manage the physical equipment and space in the Internet data center room as the bottom of the hierarchical structure.

Take the Internet data center room in Figure 3 as an example, and Figures are reviewed together.

In the first step, the Internet data center equipment room resource management module 10 starts to manage the underlying physical equipment and space. That is, the basic data of the switch, cabinet space, optical distribution frame, and connection cores are constructed in this system. The internet data center room in Figure 3 contains the switch 100, optical distribution frame 21, optical distribution frame 22, optical distribution frame 23, optical distribution frame 24, optical distribution frame 25, and cabinets established by the switch management submodule 11. Capital data of door A, cabinet door E, connecting core wire 31, connecting core wire 32, connecting core wire 33, connecting core wire 34, connecting core wire 35, connecting core wire 36, and connecting core wire 37 are established.

In the second step, the routing management module 15 is used to establish the connection information of each connection core wire and the equipment port at both ends in the Internet data center room, and the jumper / fixed connection information of each group of optical distribution frames. Take physical equipment including switches, cabinet space, and optical distribution frames as "points" and connect core wires as "lines" to connect three-dimensional routing to establish the routing resource topology of the Internet data center room as shown in Figure 4. The map (including routes 61 to 67) is also a "face".

When the joint management module 17 receives the cross-interconnection service request from the client, it notifies the cross-interconnection service management module 16 that the cross-interconnection service requirement is to connect the cabinet door A on the fifth floor to the cabinet door on the third floor. E.

In the third step, the cross-interconnection service management module 16 immediately starts analyzing the cross-interconnection service requirements. At this time, the routing resource topology map constructed by the routing management module 15 provides complete and clear information as analysis data.

When it is confirmed that there are sufficient or available connection resources or equipment room equipment resources, the cross-interconnection service management module 16 starts to perform service analysis and disassembly. Solution, and disassemble this service into 2 horizontal and 1 vertical sub connections according to the routing resource topology diagram.

The fourth step is to start the horizontal sub-interconnection 71 in the first paragraph in Figure 4. The system 1 will actively display all the equipment ports of the cabinet for the selection of the ordering staff. When the ordering staff automatically selects them manually or by a software program When cabinet door A, the system 1 immediately finds out a certain port of the connected optical distribution frame 21 according to the routing resource topology diagram, and finds a certain connection core wire connected to the core wire 31, which can be determined in the fourth figure A section of route 61. However, the sub-interconnection 71 still needs the next segment of routing to complete a horizontal connection, so the orderer then confirms to add the next segment of routing in the system 1, and the system 1 displays a blank routing field.

Next, the cross-interconnection service management module 16 analyzes the connection mode of the optical distribution frame 21 (one of the connection methods is jumper or half-solid half-hop or fixed connection) and the connection according to the first segment route 61 in FIG. 4. The content of the connection of the core wire 32 lists all the available ports of the optical distribution frame 22 connected to the route 61 as a selection option. At the same time, if the identified core wire corresponding to the connected core wire 32 is found, the second paragraph of the sub-interconnect 71 can be specified. Routing (see the second paragraph routing 62 in FIG. 4), and thus the adjustment of the horizontal sub-interconnection 71 in the first paragraph is completed.

Follow the steps and procedures for completing the horizontal sub-interconnect 71 to complete the second segment of the vertical sub-interconnect 72 from the fifth floor to the third floor. (The routing connection required for this vertical sub-interconnect 72 is shown in the route 63 in Figure 4. 64), and the routing adjustment of the third level horizontal sub-interconnection 73 (where the routing required by the horizontal sub-interconnection 73 is shown in the route 65-66 in Figure 4), that is, the routing required for the cross-interconnection service is fully adjusted 61 ~ 66.

Then, the system 1 groups the three sub-interconnects 71, 72, and 73 to form a complete cross-interconnection service, and then returns the coupon management module 17 to end the customer service coupon booking process.

In summary, the switches, cabinet racks, optical distribution frames, and connecting cores in the Internet data center computer room have not established a relationship with each other. Once the customer cancels the lease service, the distribution port and the connecting cores will not be released together. Resources, cannot make full use of resources. The invention is designed to manage the data of the computer room in a structured manner, which can quickly adjust and effectively use the equipment port and the connection core wire, and also make the subsequent analysis of the special line clearer and faster. The invention is designed to assist the Internet data center computer room to solve the long-standing problem of unclear correspondence between the equipment port and the connection core wire, and the inability to effectively use the equipment resources, further establishing the installation of value-added services in the Internet data center computer room, and Customers increase revenue.

Furthermore, for the cross-interconnect service's adjustment part, the present invention analyzes the cross-interconnect service by using the complete routing resource topology of the computer room, disassembles it into several sub-interconnects, sub-orders and manages, and accurately judges Does the computer room have sufficient / available connection resources for network connection from one endpoint to another, and can quickly and accurately determine the available and reasonable computer room resources as the adjustment option in order to achieve accurate and fast connection.

In addition, the routing resource topology map constructed by the present invention can also accurately grasp the utilization rate of equipment resources in the data room of the Internet data center, thereby maximizing the use of resource in the room.

The above embodiments are used to exemplify the principle of the present invention and its effects, but not to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can modify the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. change. Therefore, the scope of protection of the rights of the present invention should be as listed in the scope of patent application.
