Abstract

A method for operating a commissioned e-commerce service provider provides services to businesses on a computerized network such as the Internet in exchange for a small commission on the commercial transactions generated using those services. Unlike most ISPs that provide services to individuals and businesses, the commissioned e-commerce service provider preferably provides Internet services for businesses operating web sites or other application that generate e-commerce transactions for the business. Instead of paying a monthly fee for the Internet services required to host a web site or operate and e-commerce site, the business contracts with the commissioned e-commerce service provider to provide these services based on receiving a percentage commission of the commercial transactions generated using these services. Preferably, the commission percentage is tiered in accordance with the amount of traffic at the site to provide a nominal level of service at a lower commission rate, yet allow for an exceptional volume of traffic to be accommodated by the site at a higher commission rate without having the site fail or the service become overwhelmed.

Technical field

The present invention is relevant with the data processing business operation basically.Specifically, it relates to the method for running and the system of commission formula E-business service provider, and this type of provider utilizes computer network such as internet to provide service to enterprise, a small amount of commission of extracting from utilize business transactions that these services produce.

Background technology

Appearing at of commercialization ISP (ISP) promoted the fast development of internet as computer network to a great extent.ISP is a user Internet access, inserts international telephone network as telephone operator for the user.The mode that most of ISP collect the charges with regard to this access service is similar to the mode that the user collects telephone expenses to telephone operator.Originally, ISP charges to the user by the surf time usually, as telephone operator collects long-distance telephone expenses.Now, most of ISP take the mode of fixing month access fee, and this is similar with the mode that telephone operator collects city telephone rate.But in fact, all these expenses are meterage usefulness, are according to collecting expenses of surfing Internet preset time, i.e. how many branches of per minute or every month how many units.

Many reasons cause the meterage mode of ISP and telephone operator that similarity is arranged.Computer internet utilizes identical high speed, the long Distance Transmission voice-and-data of high bandwidth communication channel main line business with international telephone network.Local telephone network is also passed through in data service between dial-up user and the ISP greatly.Subunit or branch offices that many large-scale ISP are telephone operators.As telephone operator, ISP can be subjected to government control as public network operator or government utility.Perhaps the most important thing is, have only very few company to provide the required backbone network of ISP to connect, and all these companies take the metering and billing mode to collect operating charges.It is important composition in the typical ISP expense that backbone network connects expense, and for non-North America ISP, can constitute its most expenses.About being connected with network, phone how to realize that metering and billing then is that many United States Patent (USP)s (as are numbered 3,764,747,5,187,710,5,303,297,5,351,286,5,745,884,5,828,737, theme 5,946,670,5956,391 and 5,956,697 patent).

Concerning ISP, there are many charging package softwares to can be used for registering the meterage accounts, such asRens.comXaCCT andInovaware.comISP Power.Other assists the software program of ISP network management also to develop, asLightspeedsystems.comIP Magic,Resonate.comInternet Service Management andLuminate.comMAMBA.The management of ISP and operation also become numerous articles and forum's main topic of discussion, the speech of delivering in the interworking between network forum that held on April 19th, 1999 such as Hursti and Jani that is entitled as " online and Service Management ".ByRackspace.comThe typical ISP that the website can be understood with the charge of particular month rate provides which software and hardware configuration, maintenance and support for providing business level online and website to manage.

Geoff Huston has gone through several big key element of ISP pricing strategy in " ISP Survival Guide: competitive ISP management tactics " the 13rd chapter 497-535 page or leaf of publishing in 1999.He finds to have comprised in the retail rate that ISP collects five big characteristics of ISP access service, i.e. access, time, capacity, distance and quality.If service fee greater than running cost, typically inserts price strategy is to adopt a month nontraffic sensitive, because this is convenient to carry out the characteristics that have simplicity, expandability and create competitive environment for the service provider.If based on running cost, take moon nontraffic sensitive then may bring unacceptable commercial risks, and certain rate structure that increases progressively based on the meterage of tight monitoring may be more desirable.Although Mr. Huston estimates, the ISP industry is along with being dominated and will constantly stablize and consolidate by large-scale operator, and he thinks that stablizing of Internet market constantly grows up strong and sturdy continuing to be subjected to and the influence of the service mode that develops.

One of differentiation is the minority picture to have occurredNetzero.comWithFreeInet.comSuch ISP, they provide free service to each terminal user.The management mode of these ISP is to appear at the advertising income that the headline advertisement on the user display screen produces after relying on user's access service always, rather than collects access fee and use.It is similar to the management mode of commercial broadcasting TV in many aspects, and under this management mode, advertising income has been born service fee.

Another product of traditional ISP service is to have developed application system provider (ASP), asApplicast.comWithUsi.net, and enhancement mode or enterprise solution provider (ESP), as cwusa.com and hostpro.net.Although to the not clearly definition of service that ASP and ESP provided, the host services office pattern similarity that its management mode and Electronic Data Systems etc. are carried out stipulates that a part of Computer Processing demand of enterprise is contracted out to the third party.ASP and ESP provide services such as relevant application program operation, Website development, managing eBusiness and server allotment at some of client, most of or whole demand, carry out charge regularly.With regard to server allotment, run application according to the client traditionally or the website clear and definite specific software and hardware configuration charge.The same with traditional ISP, software and hardware configuration is high more, and the support service that provides is many more, and every month expense is also high more.

At present the relevant internet of great majority charges and the patents of ISP all are absorbed in ISP is involved ecommerce travelling trader and buyer, i.e. dealing between the user of ISP is paid the bill in the chain, guarantees the safety of online transaction.Be numbered 5,794,221,5,845,267 and 5,899, in 980 the United States Patent (USP), enumerating this type of safety payment system example that involves ISP.Although these payment systems can be used in limited place, people the credit card information that utilizes the security server link to provide have been provided been have have been bought and sold on the net, and this has replaced many demands to these payment systems.

Be numbered 5,819,092 United States Patent (USP) has been introduced a kind of instrument that develops software with expense set-up function on the net, make Website development merchant etc. can set up the online service charging structure, under this charging structure, charge to user and third party according to login online service, search or download of information.Be numbered 6,035,281 United States Patent (USP) and introduced a kind of charge system in many ways that the internet inserts that is applied to, its principle is to distribute corresponding cost according to the bandwidth of using in the function of predetermined accessed content and the access process to each side concerned.Though still some Internet access service is chargeed by access times, the demand of this instrument that accounts is not existed substantially, because being most message references, development trend can be undertaken by the internet that no this item is charged.

The european patent application that is numbered 0844577A3 has been introduced a kind of multistage marketing web server computer, whenever finishes a transaction on the server, and promptly " participant " to this multistage marketing program pays because of the deserved multistage marketing commission of marketing activity.Though the purposes of the webserver has been introduced in this application, its emphasis is not a How It Works of introducing ISP, but traditional multistage marketing arrangement realizes robotization, promptly pays the commission of every transaction to the in-house a series of individuals of multistage marketing.

Although the way to manage of ISP has had large increase and improvement, and developed many programs and instrument and assisted the ISP network operation, become the commercial network of dominance since the internet after, the service charge method of ISP does not have radical change.

Summary of the invention

Introduction of the present invention be the method for running of commission formula E-business service provider, it utilizes computer networks such as internet to provide service to enterprise, a small amount of commission of extracting from utilize the business transaction that these services make.With most of to individual and enterprise provide the ISP of service different be that commission formula E-business service provider is more prone to provide Internet service to moving website or other enterprise that can produce the application software of e-commerce transaction.Enterprise was that it managed website or the needed Internet service defrayment of e-commerce site in every month, but sign a contract with commission formula E-business service provider, provide service by it, but from the business transaction that utilizes its service to reach, collect commission by certain percentage.Commission number percent is divided into different brackets according to the portfolio of website, and commission rate was lower when specified service level was provided, but allows website to admit many especially portfolios and website or service can not be born, and collect commission by higher rate this moment.What of the hardware bought from ISP are the size of enterprises service ability like this, just can not be subject to.Commission formula E-business service provider is as required to website and the application software distribution server and the resource of enterprise according to the direct demand of access websites and application software.In addition, enterprise will not be wasted in to expanding on its service ability the visit peak period of dealing with only a few by rare financial resource yet.

In a kind of preferred embodiment, determine first order commission number percent according to expection or actual average service usage level, average usage level is weighed by the business transaction amount of carrying out therebetween.If directly usage level exceeds the predetermined average usage level of the first order, then according to predetermined amplification definition second level commission number percent.If directly usage level exceeds the predetermined average usage level in the second level, then define the 3rd layer of commission number percent according to the predetermined amplification that exceeds the first order.Preferable is that comprehensive measurement of average usage level inserted request quantity simultaneously and satisfied the required access bandwidth of these requests at the appointed time.

In a kind of preferred embodiment, commission formula E-business service provider is runed by a super server in the internet that links to each other with the internet (internet engine), provide data center and other associated host server admin service to internet account or website client, internet account or website client are paid and are used these services, and this serves the relevant characteristic of usage level based at least one with host server to small part.The client benefits from this kind management style, because the commission of expense part is served the relevant characteristic of usage level based at least one and host server, rather than collects fixed expense by server apparatus, bandwidth or the space size used.Its dirigibility makes and to provide the mode of host server management service can more be similar to other method of service that the client has been accustomed to the client, or is similar to the charging way that host server managed service provider or affiliated institutions have adopted.Such as, if be ready, can formulate service agreement according to special requirement of client and billing structure, as according to hit number of times, connect number of times, number of transaction, transaction income or comprehensively these factors account.Under this management style, the host server managed service provider is born the service risk, and the client can concentrate one's energy to be engaged in the content marketing like this.

Preferablely be, the host server managed service provider guarantees to reach certain maximum user's level or capacity to the client, no matter need what resource, the host server managed service provider is responsible for realizing its assurance.This assurance is embodied in the service agreement, and it extremely helps to carry out large-scale advertising campaign and advance-service is provided such as clients such as .coms, B2B market, service bureaus, and does not worry that calculated capacity is not enough.The MP3 website can provide up-to-date disc and the DVD website provides movie soon, because knowing, they have enough resources to satisfy peak requirements, need not the general cabinet formula server that the user exceeds the quata to order some, in traditional host services pricing model, then need exceed the quata to order.

Embodiment

Fig. 1 is the simplification functional diagram of the existing group ofserver 20 of server service provider, and this type of group of server is supported the host services requirement of a certain user account usually by existing software and hardware structure by static configuration.In the present embodiment, the group ofserver 20 of server service provider can be supported four different user accounts' host services.Group ofserver 20 is connected withinternet 22 by the network switch/router two 4, thenetwork switch 24 is connected with internal network switch/router 26 successively, form the Intranet of a certain user account in front end/content server 28 and rear end/calculation server 30, the data that all front end/content servers 28 and rear end/calculation server 30 are all exclusive with comprising this user account and the disk system 32 of software link to each other.Ardware feature according toserver 28 and 30, disk system 32 can be installed in the server shell, also can be installed in directly with eachserver 28 and autonomous device that 30 are connected in, also can be set to storage network (SAN) or network attached storage device (NAS) and be connected with 30 with a plurality ofservers 28.

Though this layout can make full use of ready-made hardware construction group ofserver 20, for multi-user account independently provides host services, but it has exposed several significant problems, and wherein greatest problem is that system resource allocation and scheduling between the different user account generally are static.For the unique user account is configured and manages, the keeper of server service provider needs carry out requirement forecast according to this user's request, is in view of the above on the system resource of this user account distribution fixed amount (be connected as server, disk and network etc.) again.

For example, be assumed to be a certain user account and designed a fairly simple website, when reaching expectation peak visit capacity, user account can require three front-end servers 28 simultaneously user's request to be handled, and the data base querying/renewal that requires 30 pairs of user's requests of a quaternary processor back-end server to be produced is handled.At this website, may utilize hardware technology such as F5 Big-IP, Cisco LocalDirector or Foundry ServerIron or form load balancing service software solutions such as (WLBS) that user's request is averaged distribution in front end/content server 28.In addition, also back-end data base/calculation server can be gathered to reach certain tolerance usually.The Cluster Server of Microsoft and many software products such as parallel server of Oracle make the website that has a plurality of servers can overcome contingent hardware fault in the normal running.In addition, system monitoring instruments such as Tivoli Enterprise, HP OpenView can be notified the keeper when group ofserver 20 breaks down detecting.Though these instruments are enough to the unique user account of certain website is carried out the host services management, all can not carry out the host services management to the different user account.

Prolong and use example, the website of supposing this user account is an e-commerce website, and its peak load is designed to per minute and handles 5000 transactions.The peak load design of supposing other user account websites in the group ofserver 20 again is respectively per minute 10000,15000 and 5000 transactions.As shown in Figure 2, each user account is planned and is disposed the serious waste that may cause whole group ofserver 20 capacity for the peak load of dealing with expection.Even handle multi-user account's group ofserver 20 unnecessary aggregate capacity is arranged, increase but this unnecessary capacity can not be used for the accident of processing hardware fault or account's peak load.For the resource of certain user account configuration is used for and can only be used for this account.When one of them front-end server generation hardware fault of first user account, network traffic will be directed to other front-end server 28.The back network traffic takes place remain unchanged or increase if the just busy and fault of user account takes place before the hardware fault, then remaining front-end server 28 is because of handling work before it in addition from the extra traffic overload rapidly of failed server.Under optimal situation, the system management software of group ofserver 20 can find that server breaks down, and gives the webmaster by pager and/or Email send server failure message.If the webmaster in time receives information and be in the scene, then dismountable faulty hardware is installed the standby hardware among the stock, and line again again for this user account setting with suitable software is installed, and is incorporated new hardware into remaining front-end server 28 again.If All going well, whole process can be finished in one hour.But, if failure message fails in time to receive that the webmaster is or not failed server group location, or not being used for replacing the standby hardware of trouble unit in the stock, this process just needs the longer time.Simultaneously, during this period, the response time of user's login account can prolong, and user account more is easy to generate other hardware faults.

When the demand of receiving when user account surpasses the expectation a maximum demand that sets, then do not have resource to can be used for load balancing, redistribute the network traffic of increase.Theserver 28 that this moment is all and 30 is with the full load operation, and consequently the user account response speed reduces greatly, and may feed back the information of " serving unavailable " to the request that can not in time handle.Though can not be problem, still a may command for enterprise for the user provides timely service.Occurring " serving unavailable " this problem of information on the website then more bothers, if no matter what reason of this information occurs always, the internet may pass to this information the numerous intermediate nodes in the network, and these intermediate nodes can think website " unavailable " and the subsequent request that will mail to this website turns to.So, the user who not only receives " serving unavailable " information can not get service, and when this user account in a single day saturated or transship after may cause many other users can not visit this website.

Our Fig. 3 now, wherein group ofserver 40 provides the host services dynamic management for multi-user account.Identical with existing group ofserver 20 is, group ofserver 40 is connected withinternet 22 by thenetwork switch 44, but different be that group ofserver 40 is to be managed by group of server manager 48.Everystation server 46 is the statelessness computing equipment, connects the internet by programming by thenetwork switch 44, and is connected with disk storage system 50.In one embodiment,server 46 is connected withdisk storage system 50 by fiber channel SAN.Perhaps,server 46 can arrange by NAS, convertible arrange in length and breadth or any similar interconnection technique is connected withdisk storage system 50.

As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, group ofserver manager 48 is responsible for distributing automaticallystatelessness server 46 and is that the account who distributes carries out server configures in multi-user account.This process is by finishing the server-assignment of a certain user account to thepublic management group 52 that aims at this user account definition and be configured to visit exclusive software of this user account and data.As described later, the group of server manager monitor each management group automatically and according to automatic monitored results automatically withserver 46 from the management group 52-b of first management group 52-a dynamic assignment to the second again.This is that the initialization pointer of the server 46 ' redistributed from first management group 52-a by group ofserver manager 48 setting is gone up the exclusive software and the data of this user account to visit second management group 52-b, and then the newly assigned server 46 ' of counterweight reinitializes and it added second management group 52-b finish.The present invention is different with existing group ofserver 20 hardware resources interpolation or delete procedure, and it can in minutes make the server of redistributing 46 ' bring into use in new management group 52.Basically, with the server redistributed 46 ' online consuming time maximum be exactly to restart the server required time thatserver 46 required times and load balancing and/or the software of trooping identification restart.You can find that load balancing software is used for and being connected of front end/content server more, and troop software or troop software and the integrated software of load balancing software then are used for and being connected of rear end/calculation server more.This term of load balancing software is used in reference to acts as for what this type of integrated software.

In one embodiment, because the software of second management group 52-b comprises load balancing software, it can be on line machine (as reset, start shooting) or off-line machine (as reset, shut down) state according to server is that the management group is added or the deletion server automatically, and the server of therefore redistributing 46 ' can add in second management group automatically.The front was carried, the nowadays well-known and widespread of this load balancing software, but existing load balancing software only can add or delete server in single management group.In the present embodiment, group ofserver manager 48 utilizes the function of the balanced application software of present commercial load indifferent management groups 52server 46 to be carried out dynamic reallocation.Another kind method is, in case the server redistributed 46 ' online after, the Agent of operating system software or subroutine can be incorporated into the server of redistributing 46 ' in second management group in the single management group.In another embodiment, group ofserver manager 48 can be announced the renewal tabulation of available server in eachmanagement group 52.

Preferable is that the pointer of everystation server 46 of group ofserver manager 48management groups 52 is set to the suitable copy that 52 mounted navigational figure softwares and configuration file (comprising operating system and application program) are organized in this management.When the server of redistributing 46 ' restarts, its pointer just serviced device group manager be re-set as start software and the configuration file that points to second management group 52-b, rather than point to navigational figure software and the configuration file of first management group 52-a.

Generally speaking, the website that provided by the group ofserver 40 at a certain particular user account place of eachmanagement group 52 representatives or similarly host services.Although same company or relative commercial entity can be paid different user accounts, and be relevant with certain specific user, thereby also relevant with certain curaspecialis group 52 data and software are exclusive by this user account.Thereby provide the service provider of host services different by the timesharing of the large-scale mainframe computer system resource of single public operation system implementation as the multi-user with using large-scale principal computer, eachmanagement group 52 has its distinctive software (comprising the routine operation system software), can not exceed the scope of theserver 46 of having distributed to second management group 52.This location mode of the present invention makes people can install and use simple conventional application software and operating system on the individual server of cheapness.Like this, the single component of formingmanagement group 52 just can select for use market that the hardware server and the standard software program of the cheapness of sale are arranged.
