Abstract:
1. At a computer system, the computer system including one or more processors, system memory, and a platform-specific gateway, the platform-specific gateway situated between a directive dispatcher and a specific targeted device, a method for managing technology resources at the specified target device, the method comprising: the platform-specific gateway receiving a device-neutral configuration directive routed from a distribution component to the platform-specific gateway via network communication based on the device-neutral configuration directive being directed to the specified target device, the device-neutral configuration directive issued by a directive dispatcher to the distribution component via network communication, the device-neutral configuration directive directing the specified target device to implement a configuration change defined in the device-neutral configuration directive, the device-neutral configuration directive having been modified by one or more directive processors based on operational data collected from one or more other target devices that previously attempted to implement the device-neutral configuration directive, the operational data providing feedback for use in modifying the device-neutral configuration for the specified target device; the platform-specific gateway translating the device-neutral directive into a device-specific configuration directive for the specified target device based on the feedback, the device-specific configuration directive of a form suitable for execution at the specified target device to implement the defined configuration change; and the platform-specific gateway sending the device-specific configuration directive to the specified target device so as to realize the defined configuration change at the specified target device.
