Connectivity management system client and host aware extensions for non-embedded use cases

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• a data center asset client module;
• and,
• a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• providing a data center asset with a data center asset client module, the data center asset client module including an endpoint extension;
• associating an endpoint with the endpoint extension, the endpoint extension comprising a module which is added to the data center asset client module to allow the endpoint to communicate with the data center asset client module;
• establishing a connection between the data center asset client module and a connectivity management system, the connectivity management system comprising a connectivity management system aggregator, the establishing the connection between the data center asset client module and the connectivity management system establishing the connectivity management system client in a trusted and claimed state, the trusted state indicating a channel of communication between the data center asset and the connectivity management system aggregator is guaranteed, the claimed state indicating the data center asset can be authenticated and bound to a user;
• and,
• communicating between the endpoint and the connectivity management system via the data center asset client extension.
