Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for installing web management software on an entity server by communicating requests to entity servers for the purpose of executing instruction on the entity servers. As an example, the system receives installation parameters comprising hardware, software, and network information associated with an entity server and based on these installation parameters, generates a list of commands to install web management software on an entity server, wherein each command is executable by the entity server for performing a function to install the web management software on the entity server. The system initiates a server communication session with the entity server, and for each command in the list of commands, communicates a request comprising the command to be executed by the entity server, wherein the requests are sent in a selected order and at selected times to install web management software on the entity server.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A system for installing web management software, whereby the system communicates requests to entity servers for the purpose of executing instructions on the entity servers, the system comprising:

a storage device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device;
and
a computer processing device operatively coupled to said storage device and said communication device, wherein said computer processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code stored on said storage device to:
receive, via said communication device, installation parameters comprising hardware, software, and network information associated with an entity server;
based upon the installation parameters, generate a list of commands to install web management software on the entity server, wherein each command in the list of commands is executable by the entity server for performing a function to install the web management software on the entity server;
initiate a server communication session with the entity server;
and
for each command in the list of commands, communicate, via said communication device, a request comprising the command to be executed by the entity server, wherein the requests are sent in a selected order and at selected times to install web management software on the entity server.

6 more elements

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising software instructions for operation by a computer controller for installing web management software on an entity server, said software instructions comprising:

a first executable portion configured for receiving installation parameters comprising hardware, software, and network information of an entity server;
a second executable portion configured for, based upon the installation parameters, generating a list of commands to install web management software on the entity server, wherein each command in the list of commands is executable by the entity server for performing a function to install the web management software on the entity server;
a third executable portion configured for, initiating a server communication session with the entity server;
and
a fourth executable portion configured for, for each command in the list of commands, communicating a request comprising the command to be executed by the entity server, wherein the requests are sent in a selected order and at selected times to install web management software on the entity server.

2 more elements

A method implemented by a computerized apparatus configured for installing web management software, whereby the method communicates requests to entity servers for the purpose of executing instructions on the entity servers the method comprising:

receiving installation parameters comprising hardware, software, and network information of an entity server;
based upon the installation parameters, generating a list of commands to install web management software on the entity server, wherein each command in the list of commands is executable by the entity server for performing a function to install the web management software on the entity server;
initiating a server communication session with the entity server;
and
for each command in the list of commands, communicating a request comprising the command to be executed by the entity server, wherein the requests are sent in a selected order and at selected times to install web management software on the entity server.
