Abstract
A management unit comprising a processor, the management unit is configured to be in communication with at least one management system, the at least one management system configured to be in communication with at least one endpoint machine in an environment of multiple endpoint machines, the processor is configured to: assign for the at least one management system a dynamic group of endpoint machines; execute a relevant adaptor on the management system according to the assigned dynamic group; and apply to the dynamic group of endpoint machines, by the executed adaptor, policy rules relevant to the dynamic group of endpoint machines.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a management unit comprising a processor, the management unit being configured to be in communication with a set of management systems, the set of management systems adapted to manage a set of endpoint machines, the processor being configured to:
- classify one or more of the endpoint machines to one or more dynamic groups according to classification attributes of the endpoint machines;
- assign at least one of the dynamic group to at least one of the management systems;
- send a management configuration to the at least one management system, wherein the at least one management system is adapted manage endpoint machines included in a dynamic group based on the management configuration;
- automatically detect that an endpoint machine was added to a network;
- decide, according to a classification of the endpoint machine, which management system should be used for managing the endpoint machine;_and
- add the endpoint machine to a dynamic group managed by the management system, wherein the management system is adapted to interact with the endpoint machine and to apply, to the endpoint machine, settings according to the management configuration.
A method comprising:
- classifying, by a processor, one or more endpoint machines to one or more dynamic groups according to classification attributes of the endpoint machines;
- assigning, by the processor, the dynamic group to a management system;
- sending, by the processor, a management configuration to the management system, wherein the management system is adapted to manage endpoint machines included in the dynamic group based on the management configuration;
- automatically detecting that an endpoint machine was added to a network;
- deciding, according to a classification of the endpoint machine, which management system should be used for managing the endpoint machine;
- and
- adding the endpoint machine to a dynamic group managed by the management system, wherein the management system is adapted to interact with the endpoint machine and to apply, to the endpoint machine, settings according to the management configuration.
