Abstract

A remote services architecture which includes a remote services proxy, an intermediate mid level manager, an applications mid level manager, and an application server coupled to the remote services proxy. The remote services proxy provides communications flow management. The intermediate mid level manager provides data queue management, transaction integrity and redundancy. The intermediate mid level manager is scalable to a customer location or a service provider location based upon the needs of the customer. The applications mid level manager provides data normalization and integration with a mail server data flow. The application server provides persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information.

Claims (46)

1. A remote services architecture comprising:

a remote services proxy, the remote services proxy providing communications flow management;

an intermediate mid level manager, the intermediate mid level manager providing data queue management, transaction integrity and redundancy, the intermediate mid level manager being scalable to a customer location or a service provider location based upon needs of the customer;

an applications mid level manager, the applications mid level manager providing data normalization and integration with a mail server data flow; and

an application server coupled to the remote services proxy, the application server providing persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information.

2. The remote services architecture of claim 1 wherein the intermediate mid level manager module is a customer mid level manager module.

3. The remote services architecture of claim 1 wherein the intermediate mid level manager module is an aggregation mid level manager module.

4. The remote services architecture of claim 1 further comprising:

a certificate management system, the certificate management system providing management of certificates to verify connection authentication for the remote services infrastructure.

5. The remote services architecture of claim 1 further comprising:

a remote services content generation mid level manager module, the remote services content generation mid level manager module providing content based on data held within the remote services application server module.

6. The remote services architecture of claim 1 further comprising:

a remote services bandwidth management system, the remote services bandwidth management system controlling bandwidth usage and data prioritization for communication between the intermediate mid level manager and the applications mid level manager.

7. The remote services architecture of claim 6 wherein

the remote services bandwidth management system is located within the intermediate mid level manager.

8. A remote services system comprising:

proxy means for providing communications flow management;

intermediate mid level manager means for providing data queue management, transaction integrity and redundancy, the intermediate mid level manager being scalable to a customer location or a service provider location based upon needs of the customer;

applications mid level manager means for providing data normalization and integration with a mail server data flow; and

application server means coupled to the remote services proxy for providing persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information.

9. The remote services system of claim 8 wherein the intermediate mid level manager means is a customer mid level manager means.

10. The remote services system of claim 8 wherein the intermediate mid level manager module is an aggregation mid level manager module.

11. The remote services system of claim 8 further comprising:

means for certificate management, the means for certificate management providing management of certificates to verify connection authentication for the remote services infrastructure.

12. The remote services system of claim 8 further comprising:

remote services content generation mid level manager means for providing content based on data held within the remote services application server module.

13. The remote services system of claim 8 further comprising:

means for a remote services bandwidth management, the means for remote services bandwidth management controlling bandwidth usage and data prioritization for communication between the intermediate mid level manager means and the applications mid level manager means.

14. The remote services system of claim 8 wherein

the means for remote services bandwidth management is located within the intermediate mid level manager means.

15. A method for providing remote services comprising:

providing communications flow management via a remote services proxy;

providing, via an intermediate mid level manager, data queue management, transaction integrity and redundancy,

scaling the intermediate mid level manager to a customer location or a service provider location based upon needs of the customer;

providing, via an applications mid level manager, data normalization and integration with a mail server data flow; and

providing, via an application server, persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the intermediate mid level manager is a customer mid level manager means.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein the intermediate mid level manager is an aggregation mid level manager module.

18. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

providing management of certificates to verify connection authentication for the remote services infrastructure.

19. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

providing content based on data held within the remote services application server.

20. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

controlling bandwidth usage and data prioritization for communication between the intermediate mid level manager and the applications mid level manager.

21. The method of claim 20 wherein

the controlling bandwidth usage and data prioritization is performed within the intermediate mid level manager.
