A communication system includes multiple VPN termination devices that perform a first VPN communication and a configuration server that configures the first VPN communication. Each of the VPN termination devices includes a first processor programmed to implement a configuration information receiver that receives configuration information for the first VPN communication sent from the configuration server, a communication controller that controls the first VPN communication based on the configuration information, and a first VPN communication unit that performs the first VPN communication with another one of the VPN termination devices according to a control of the communication controller.

Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed computing devices utilizing containerized applications. For instance, a mobile device manager may provide configuration settings to a computing device via, for example, an enterprise network. A host operating system (OS) executing on the computing device determines and applies the settings that are applicable to the host OS. The configuration settings are stored for configuring containerized applications executing on the computing device. For instance, as new containerized applications are launched by the host OS, the containerized applications retrieve the configuration settings and determine and apply the settings that are applicable to the containerized applications. Results of applying the configuration settings to the host OS and the containerized applications are merged and sent to the mobile device manager. The host OS and the containerized application may, for example, implement the settings in order to be compliant with an enterprise's policy.

A system and method for managing a system topology of a distributed computing system comprising: providing a network of clusters with at least a first cluster and a second cluster; configuring the first cluster with an external gateway configuration of the second cluster; distributing the external gateway configuration across at least a subset of nodes of the first cluster; establishing a connection between all clusters from the network of clusters, which for the first and second cluster comprises: for each node of the first cluster, establishing a single outbound connection to a select node of the second cluster; and managing communication over the system topology comprising: at a receiver node of the second cluster, propagating a subscription interest, and at an origin node of the first cluster, transmitting communications over the connection according to the subscription interest.

Examples described here include systems and methods for configuring device settings for a number of user devices across an enterprise. A management server can provide a user interface at an administrator console for creating a profile and identifying an associated device type. The management server can then retrieve a schema file associated with the device type. Based on information in the schema file, the management server can populate the user interface at the administrator console with available configuration options pertaining to the device type. An administrator can configure the options and send instructions to the management server to deploy the profile across the number of user devices. The management server can instruct each user device to download a device configuration application from an application repository and transmit the settings information to an agent application of the user device that has permission to configure the device configuration application.

The disclosure is directed to providing virtual network functions to a customer node by a communication system with a provider node in an automatic, traceable, and auditable way. The provider node includes a retrieving module, a validation module, and a deployment module. The retrieving module is configured to retrieve a notification signal, wherein the notification signal is indicative of a selected one of a plurality of virtual network functions and the customer node. The validation module is configured to establish service level agreement data and to validate the agreement service level data, based on the notification signal. The deployment module is configured to selectively transmit a deployment signal to a communication node depending on the validation of the service level agreement data for providing the selected virtual network function to the customer node.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of managing remote devices. The system can include a server with memory, a detection module, and a collection module. The memory can store a management information base (MIB) having a hierarchical tree of object identifiers and corresponding object values. The detection module can query devices and receive a first object identifier and its first object value, which can vary from those in the MIB; and use patterns to match the first object identifier and object value; and generate an identification of the device from the matches. The collection module can use the identification to select a collection template, which can indicate a subtree of the MIB and a collection pattern; traverse the subtree and identify a second object identifier that matches the collection pattern, and its second object value; and associate the second object value with the first object value.

Provided are systems and methods for configuring a network servicing node with user-defined instruction scripts. A method for configuring a network servicing node with user-defined instruction scripts may commence with receiving, from a user of the network servicing node, a user loadable program. The user loadable program may include at least the user-defined instruction scripts. The method may continue with receiving a data packet from a data network associated with the user. The method may further include determining a condition associated with the data packet. The method may continue with identifying, in a name table, a program name associated with a program using the condition. The program may be the user loadable program. The method may further include processing the data packet by getting an instruction of the user-defined instruction scripts from a storage module and applying the instruction to the data packet.

An information processing system comprising a first apparatus and a second apparatus, wherein the first apparatus includes: a collection unit that collects information on a surrounding environment of the first apparatus; a determination unit that determines an installation environment of the first apparatus based on the information; a detection unit that detects the second apparatus present under an installation environment identical to the installation environment; a generation unit that generates a setting template for setting the second apparatus based on the installation environment; and a transmission unit that transmits the setting template to the second apparatus, and the second information processing apparatus includes: a reception unit that receives the setting template; and an application unit that applies the received setting template to the second apparatus.

Data is received describing a local model of a first device generated by the first device based on sensor readings at the first device and a global model is updated that is hosted remote from the first device based on the local model and modeling devices in a plurality of different asset taxonomies. A particular operating state affecting one or more of a set of devices deployed in a particular machine-to-machine network is detected and the particular machine-to-machine network is automatically reconfigured based on the global model.
