Abstract:
Converged network management application and system is provided that delivers a management platform as a service that can view and/or manage all managed networks in the aggregate, or any one of them individually (including individual devices within the managed networks), in a secure and efficient manner, providing continuously available intelligence in real time on the managed networks and systems, and overcoming integration issues including conflicting address schemas, the need to avoid unnecessary infrastructure, and the need acquire all necessary information in real time within applicable memory and bandwidth constraints.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer software embodiment, recorded in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, for implementing, on a processor, a Remote Intelligence Gateway (RIG) for remotely and securely monitoring and managing a plurality of disparate networks and systems, the software embodiment (RIG software) being in the form of a machine-readable set of instructions for a processor, the RIG software being characterized in that:\n the RIG software, or a superset of the RIG software, is adapted to be deployed to and executed as an instance on a first processor in a first (root) domain external to a plurality of managed domains; the same RIG software is also adapted to be deployed to and executed as separate instances on processors within the managed domains; the RIG software is adapted so that each RIG software instance can address a plurality of managed elements located within the domain to which it has been deployed (local domain), wherein the managed elements have been locally assigned addresses that are not constrained to be unique among the plurality of managed domains, and wherein address conflicts among managed elements in the respective managed domains may accordingly exist, which must be resolved in order to address those elements from outside their local domain; the RIG software comprises routines for combining (i) a first identifier associated with the RIG software instance in a managed domain, which identifier is unique among the plurality of managed domains, with (ii) the locally assigned address of a managed element within such managed domain, to thereby be able to form a combined address for any of the managed elements within such managed domain that is also unique among said plurality of managed domains; the RIG software is further adapted store the names, attributes and locally assigned addresses of the managed elements within the managed domain in an element list on the local RIG; the RIG software is further adapted to publish said first identifier and the element list on the local RIG for access through commands issued by other RIGs; and the RIG software is adapted to communicate commands including combined addresses for managed elements to other RIG by tunneling over other protocols through the respective RIGs' communications interfaces; wherein, the RIG software is thereby adapted to make the combined addresses in the element list on the local RIG accessible to the RIG software instance in the root domain, through any one or more additional RIG software instances in any one or more managed domains intermediate between the root domain and the local RIG, wherein each of the RIG instances can access the combined addresses for managed elements within any downstream managed domain subordinate to it, and makes the combined addresses of managed elements within its own and any subordinate managed domains accessible to an upstream domain to which it is subordinate; and further wherein, subject to authentication and applicable access policies, the RIG in the root domain or in any upstream domain can query any downstream RIG for directory information and use the names, addresses, and attributes provided in the directory information to direct commands to managed elements internal to the downstream RIG's local network or any managed domain downstream therefrom, and such queries and direction of commands are executable to arbitrary depth within the plurality of managed domains, without requiring special access to any managed domain, and without regard to the architectures or addressing schemas of or within the managed domains.
