DATA CACHING IN CONSOLIDATED NETWORK REPOSITORY
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, a data element from a first storage layer device that consolidates storage of network data relating to networks and network components, and storage of application data relating to applications;
caching, by the system, the data element in a second storage layer device according to a cache retention protocol defining at least a time period for retention of the data element in the second storage layer device; and
removing, by the system, the data element from the second storage layer device after the time period has elapsed.

Abstract
System(s) and method(s) are provided for caching data in a consolidated network repository of information available to mobile and non-mobile networks, and network management systems. Data can be cached in response to request(s) for a data element or request(s) for an update to a data element and in accordance with a cache retention protocol that establishes a versioning protocol and a set of timers that determine a period to elapse prior to removal of a version of the cached data element. Updates to a cached data element can be effected if an integrity assessment determines that recordation of an updated version of the data element preserves operational integrity of one or more network components or services. The assessment is based on integrity logic that establishes a set of rules that evaluate operational integrity of a requested update to a data element. Retention protocol and integrity logic are configurable.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least; retrieve a data element from a first storage layer device that consolidates storage of network data relating to networks and network components, and storage of application data relating to applications; cache the data element in a second storage layer device according to a cache retention protocol; and remove the data element from the second storage layer device in response to a condition with respect to a time period defined in the cache retention protocol being satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
