Abstract
A cloud-based communication framework. A first secure channel may be established for communication between an IT device and a cloud-computing platform. A request for a device user interface may be received over the first secure channel. A second secure channel for communication between the IT device and the cloud-computing platform may be established in response to the request for the device user interface. The device user interface may then be forwarded over the second secure channel to the cloud-computing platform.
Claims20
An information technology (IT) device, comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media for storing computer-readable program code;
- and
- a processor in communication with the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, the processor being operative with the computer-readable program code to perform operations including
- establishing a first secure channel for communication between the IT device and a cloud-computing platform,
- in response to a request received over the first secure channel for a device user interface of the IT device, establishing a second secure channel on-demand for communication between the IT device and the cloud-computing platform, and
- forwarding the device user interface over the second secure channel to the cloud-computing platform.
A method for cloud-based communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a cloud-computing platform, from a user device a request for a device user interface of an information technology (IT) device;
- sending, by the cloud-computing platform, over a first secure channel the request for the device user interface to the IT device;
- in response to the request for the device user interface, establishing a second secure channel on-demand for communication between the IT device and the cloud-computing platform;
- receiving, by the cloud-computing platform, over the second secure channel the device user interface from the IT device;
- and
- sending, by the cloud-computing platform, the device user interface to the user device for presentation.
A cloud-based communication system, comprising:
- a cloud-computing platform;
- a user device communicatively coupled to the cloud-computing platform;
- and
- at least one information technology (IT) device communicatively coupled to the cloud-computing platform, wherein the at least one IT device receives a request from the user device for a device user interface of the IT device over a first secure channel established between the cloud-computing platform and the at least one IT device, wherein a second secure channel is established on-demand between the cloud-computing platform and the at least one IT device in response to the request from the user device, wherein the IT device sends the device user interface over the second secure channel to the cloud-computing platform for communication to the user device.
