Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for remotely managing enterprise resources. In some implementations, a method includes remotely receiving information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network. Transactions for remotely managing the heterogeneous assets are generated in response to at least the information. The management transactions are stored remote from the enterprise network until a request for the management transactions is received from the enterprise network. The management transactions are transmitted to the enterprise network using a single interface.

Claims (30)

1. A method for managing assets, comprising:

identifying information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network;

determining one or more software updates for the heterogeneous assets in the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the identified information;

generating commands to remotely manage the heterogeneous assets in accordance with the determined one or more software updates, the generated commands incompatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

transmitting, to at least one designated device in the enterprise network different from the heterogeneous assets, the commands to the enterprise network using at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks, the at least one designated device in the enterprise network configured to translate the incompatible commands to commands compatible with the heterogeneous assets for updating associated software.

2. The method of claim 1 , the commands for the heterogeneous assets are generated in accordance with a single communication protocol.

3. The method of claim 1 , the at least one designated device in the enterprise network generates compatible commands for a plurality of different types of devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating commands for heterogeneous assets in different enterprise networks, each enterprise network connected to at least one designated interface and including at least one designated device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information from the at least one designated device identifying statuses of the heterogeneous assets; and

generating one or more reports for the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information, the one or more reports viewable by one or more users.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving a selection from the user through an interactive element presented with the one or more viewable reports; and

automatically generating at least one or more commands for at least one of the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the selection.

7. A system for managing assets, comprising:

memory configured to store information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network; and

one or more processors configured to:

identify information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network;

determine one or more software updates for the heterogeneous assets in the enterprise network based, at least in part, on the identified information;

generate commands to remotely manage the heterogeneous assets in accordance with the determined one or more software updates, the generated commands incompatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

transmit, to at least one designated device in the enterprise network different from the heterogeneous assets, the commands to the enterprise network using at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks, the at least one designated device in the enterprise network configured to translate the incompatible commands to commands compatible with the heterogeneous assets for updating associated software.

8. The system of claim 7 , the commands for the heterogeneous assets are generated in accordance with a single communication protocol.

9. The system of claim 7 , the at least one designated device in the enterprise network generates compatible commands for a plurality of different types of assets.

10. The system of claim 7 , the processors further operable to generate commands for heterogeneous assets in different enterprise networks, each enterprise network connected to at least one designated interface to the system and including at least one designated device.

11. The system of claim 7 , the processors further operable to:

receive information from the at least one designated device identifying statuses of the heterogeneous assets; and

generate one or more reports for the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information, the one or more reports viewable by one or more users.

12. The system of claim 11 , the processors further operable to:

receive a selection from the user through an interactive element presented with the one or more viewable reports; and

automatically generate at least one or more commands for at least one of the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the selection.
