Abstract

A network service providing system with high reliability includes a cloud service platform and an agent system. The cloud service platform is connected to the Internet and is for providing a network service. The agent system is connected to a network linked with the Internet. The agent system includes a network service server, a login module and a data synchronization module. The network service server is for providing the network service. The login module receives the inputted identification information from a user device and directs the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform or the network service server. The data synchronization module is for synchronizing between a service data stored in the cloud service platform and the network service server. The aforementioned network providing system may avoid the single failure of point problem thereby enhancing the availability and usability of the network service.

Claims

1. A network service providing system with high reliability comprising:

a cloud service platform, a first node in an Internet, for providing a network service to be accessed by a user device; and

a first agent system, a first node in a first network, wherein the first network is linked with the Internet, and the first agent system comprises;

a first network service server for providing the network service to be accessed by the user device;

a first login module receiving an identification information inputted from the user device and directing the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform or the first network service server; and

a first data synchronization module for synchronizing a stored service data of the cloud service platform and the first network service server.

2. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, further comprising:

a second agent system, a node in a second network, wherein the second network is linked to the Internet, and the second agent system comprises;

a second network service server for providing the network service to be accessed by the user device;

a second login module receiving the inputted identification information from the user device and directing the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform or the second network service server; and

a second data synchronization module for synchronizing the service data of the first network service server and the second network service server.

3. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 2, wherein the user device of the second network is not able to access the cloud service platform.

4. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the first agent system is provided by an Internet service provider (ISP).

5. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the first data synchronization module uses an application program interface (API) provided by the cloud service platform or a data format or protocol supported by the cloud service platform to synchronize the service data.

6. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the user device is a second node in the Internet or the first network, and based on the network location of the user device, the first login module directs the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform or the first network service server.

7. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the first agent system further comprises a network abnormality detection module for detecting a connection quality of the cloud service platform and the first network service server, and based on the connection quality, the first login module directs the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform or the first network service server with the better connection quality.

8. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 7, wherein the network abnormality detection module further detects connection qualities of a plurality of gateways between the first network and the Internet to the cloud service platform, and directs the user device to establish a connection with the cloud service platform through the gateway with the better connection quality.

9. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 8, wherein the first agent system further comprises a routing update module that selects based on the connection qualities of the plurality of gateways to the cloud service platform the gateway of the better connection quality as a default gateway, and updates a routing table.

10. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the first agent system further comprises a service migration module which converts the service data of the first network service server according to the API provided by another cloud service platform or the data format or protocol supported by the other cloud service platform, and synchronizes the service data in the other cloud service platform.

11. The network service providing system with high reliability according to claim 1, wherein the network service comprises email service, web service, file management service, calendar, address book, user authentication or the combination thereof.
