ABSTRACT:
Software can be administered via an application service provider scenario. An administrator can specify configuration directives to be implemented at nodes in a network. The nodes can be organized into groups. The configuration directives can be organized into policies. The administration functions can be performed via an application service provider scenario. For example, a browser-based user interface can be used to configure nodes and indicate appropriate settings, software, or behavior for the nodes. Agent software at a node can query a data center to discover and implement the configuration directives. More than one organization can be serviced by an application service provider.
