US 2003/0225883 A1 · System and method for reliable delivery of event information

Abstract

The present invention provides a system capable of low cost monitoring and/or management solutions that can be deployed into data centers and into other systems that may not contain a particular management system. The system supports the monitoring and/or management of numerous devices. In some illustrative embodiments, these devices can include any combination of servers or appliances. A method for the secure and reliable delivery of reactive, proactive and/or predictive event information provided by unreliable protocols over an Internet connection is provided. The method preferably provides encryption, encapsulation, store and/or forward services and confirmation of such events.
