Offline device provisioning

An on-premise gateway system for provisioning an on-premise device within an on-premise communications network, the on-premise gateway system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• an off-premise network interface configured to communicate one or more provisioning records via a network connection with an off-premise device provisioning service system in an off-premise communications network, wherein the off-premise device provisioning service system is configured to register the on-premise device for use with off-premise solutions inaccessible by the on-premise device via the off-premise communications network while the network connection is disconnected;
• an on-premise network interface configured to communicate with an on-premise communications network;
• a discovery endpoint executed by the one or more hardware processors and configured to respond to a discovery request received from the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network, while the network connection is disconnected;
• and
• an on-premise device provisioning service executed by the one or more hardware processors, wherein
• the off-premise network interface is configured to communicate one or more device provisioning records between the off-premise device provisioning service system and the on-premise device provisioning service via the network connection, while the network connection is connected, and
• the on-premise device provisioning service is configured to receive a provisioning request from the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network, while the network connection is disconnected, and to provision the on-premise device based on the one or more provisioning records, while the network connection is disconnected, wherein the provisioning by the on-premise device provisioning service of the on-premise device includes registering the on-premise device for use with on-premise solutions accessible to the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network while the network connection is disconnected.

One or more tangible processor-readable storage media of a tangible article of manufacture encoding processor-executable instructions for executing on an electronic computing device a process of provisioning an on-premise device within an on-premise communications network, the process comprising:

• connecting, via a network connection, an on-premise gateway system in the on-premise communications network with an off-premise device provisioning service system in an off-premise communications network, wherein the off-premise device provisioning service system is configured to register the on-premise device for use with off-premise solutions inaccessible by the on-premise device via the off-premise communications network while the network connection is disconnected;
• communicating one or more device provisioning records between the off-premise device provisioning service system and an on-premise device provisioning service of the on-premise gateway system via the network connection;
• disconnecting the network connection between the on-premise communications network and the off-premise communications network;
• responding to a discovery request received from the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network, while the network connection is disconnected;
• receiving, at the on-premise device provisioning service of the on-premise gateway system, a provisioning request from the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network, while the network connection is disconnected, responsive to the responding operation;
• and
• provisioning, by the on-premise device provisioning service of the on-premise gateway system, the on-premise device based on the one or more device provisioning records, while the network connection is disconnected, responsive to receiving the provisioning request, wherein the provisioning operation includes registering the on-premise device for use with on-premise solutions accessible to the on-premise device via the on-premise communications network while the network connection is disconnected.
