System and method for dynamic and extensible management of device nodes

A device management system for managing remote device nodes in a network infrastructure comprising:

• a storage resource;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the storage resource, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage resource to cause the system to:
• receive a first service request message that includes an device identifier and an operation identifier;
• retrieve device type and endpoint information pursuant to the first service request;
• select from a database by the device type an application protocol according to the operation identifier;
• select an operation command file according to the operation identifier;
• and
• send to a remote device operation commands.
