Claim:
1. A method for transmitting data from an on-premise component to an off-premise computer image, the method comprising: sending a first message from the off-premise computer image to an off-premise server using a secure port of the off-premise server, the first message comprising a request to receive the data from the on-premise component using a specific unsecure port of the on-premise component; recording an address of the off-premise computer image sending the first message; sending a second message from the off-premise server to the off-premise computer image, the second message comprising instructions for the off-premise computer image to connect to a specific unsecure port of the off-premise server; identifying a connection to the specific unsecure port of the off-premise server within a selected time interval; verifying that an address of a computer image making the connection to the specific unsecure port is the same as the recorded address of the off-premise computer image; sending from the off-premise server, using a secure connection, a third message to an on-premise connector to transmit the requested data using the specific unsecure port of the on-premise component if the off-premise computer image is verified and the connection is identified within the selected time interval; sending a fourth message from the on-premise connector to the on-premise component instructing the on-premise component to transmit the requested data using the specific unsecure port of the on-premise component; transmitting the requested data from the on-premise component to the on-premise connector using the specific unsecure port of the on-premise component; transmitting the requested data from the on-premise connector to the off-premise server using the secure connection; and transmitting the requested data from the off-premise server to the off-premise computer image using the specific unsecure port of the off-premise server.
