Connectivity management system client software distribution operation

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 plurality of data center assets with respective data center asset client modules, one of the plurality of data center assets comprising an embedded data center asset client module, each respective data center asset client module comprising a file download module, each data center asset client module storing a respective file block;
• establishing a connection between the respective data center asset client modules and a connectivity management system, the connectivity management system comprising a connectivity management system aggregator, the connectivity management system aggregator interacting with the respective data center asset client modules to establish a trusted state and a claimed state between each of the plurality of data center assets and the connectivity management system, the trusted state and the claimed state being orthogonal as they relate to the respective data center asset client modules, the trusted state indicating a channel of communication between the data center asset and the connectivity management system is guaranteed, the claimed state indicating the data center asset can be authenticated and bound to a user, the connectivity management system aggregator communicating with a file distribution service, the file distribution service communicating with a file tracker service, the location of the software component being maintained by the file tracker service;
• and,
• distributing a file block from a first data center asset client module to a second data center asset client module via the file download module of the second data center asset client module, the embedded data center asset client module being configured to use the file download module of the second data center asset client module as a proxy to distribute the file block from the first data center asset client module to the second data center asset client module.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

• providing a plurality of data center assets with respective data center asset client modules, one of the plurality of data center assets comprising an embedded data center asset client module, each respective data center asset client module comprising a file download module, each data center asset client module storing a respective file block;
• establishing a connection between the respective data center asset client modules and a connectivity management system, the connectivity management system comprising a connectivity management system aggregator, the connectivity management system aggregator interacting with the respective data center asset client modules to establish a trusted state and a claimed state between each of the plurality of data center assets and the connectivity management system, the trusted state and the claimed state being orthogonal as they relate to the respective data center asset client modules, the trusted state indicating a channel of communication between the data center asset and the connectivity management system is guaranteed, the claimed state indicating the data center asset can be authenticated and bound to a user, the connectivity management system aggregator communicating with a file distribution service, the file distribution service communicating with a file tracker service, the location of the software component being maintained by the file tracker service;
• and,
• distributing a file block from a first data center asset client module to a second data center asset client module via the file download module of the second data center asset client module, the embedded data center asset client module being configured to use the file download module of the second data center asset client module as a proxy to distribute the file block from the first data center asset client module to the second data center asset client module.
