ABSTRACT:
A solution for a remote service provider outside a customer's controlled network to reference an object of service (OOS) that is part of the customer's controlled network using a globally unique identifier (GUID) which is derived independently of network information associated with the OOS. A GUID generator module within the customer's controlled network generates a GUID for each device in the customer's controlled network and stores each GUID with a reference to its network information (e.g., IP addresshost name) in a lookup datastore accessible by an object of service management system (OOS) within the customer's controlled network. For service instances (e.g., data harvesting, software upgrades), the OOS management module sends the GUID in lieu of network information for the OOS. Thus the remote service provider can uniquely identify a device and reference it in a customer's network without the security implications of transferring customer network information outside the customer's network.
