Autonomic system for selective administation isolation of a secure remote management of systems in a computer network

Abstract

An autonomic system for selective administration isolation for more secure remote management in a computer network is disclosed. The aspects include isolating administrative access to managed client systems in a computer network via a data center, and utilizing the data center to control remote initiation of services in the managed client systems by an administrative system. Through the present invention, peer-to-peer management is avoided through the inclusion of a trusted third party in the form of a data center. User data privacy can be enforced and system configuration can be limited to administrator control, which are both accomplished under the enforcement of the data center. These and other advantages will become readily apparent from the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
