Abstract
System and method for managing multiple Remote-office and Branch-office (ROBO) sites use a central management computer to monitor operation statuses of host computers within the multiple ROBO sites and in response to a communication disruption in a particular ROBO site of the multiple ROBO sites, determining a cause of the communication disruption based on the operation statuses of the host computers within the particular ROBO site.
Claims30
A method for managing multiple Remote-office and Branch-office (ROBO) sites, the method comprising:
- monitoring operation statuses of host computers within the multiple ROBO sites using a central management computer;
- and
- in response to a communication disruption in a particular ROBO site of the multiple ROBO sites, determining a cause of the communication disruption using the central management computer based on the operation statuses of the host computers within the particular ROBO site.
A computer-readable storage medium containing program instructions for managing multiple Remote-office and Branch-office (ROBO) sites, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
- monitoring operation statuses of host computers within the multiple ROBO sites using a central management computer;
- and
- in response to a communication disruption in a particular ROBO site of the multiple ROBO sites, determining a cause of the communication disruption using the central management computer based on the operation statuses of the host computers within the particular ROBO site.
A computer system for managing multiple Remote-office and Branch-office (ROBO) sites comprising:
- a central management computer configured to:
- monitor operation statuses of host computers within the multiple ROBO sites;
- and
- in response to a communication disruption in a particular ROBO site of the multiple ROBO sites, determine a cause of the communication disruption based on the operation statuses of the host computers within the particular ROBO site.
