Geospatial based management of configuration profiles

摘要

A system, method and program product for managing profiles for devices in a network. A computer system is disclosed having a configuration management system for managing configuration profiles for a set of devices within a network, and includes: a boundary definition system that employs a computerized process for defining a plurality of geospatial boundaries; a device manager that employs a computerized process for interfacing with remote agents associated with respective devices to recognize when a device has migrated into a new geospatial boundary; and a profile management system that employs a computerized process for uploading an updated configuration profile to the remote agent in response to the device being migrated to the new geospatial boundary.

1. A computer system having a configuration management system for dynamically managing configuration profiles for a set of devices within a network, comprising:
a boundary definition system that employs a computerized process for defining a plurality of geospatial boundaries, each of the plurality of geospatial boundaries comprising a set of multidimensional spatial coordinates; a device manager that employs a computerized process for interfacing with remote agents associated with respective devices to recognize when a device has migrated into a new geospatial boundary; and a profile management system that employs a computerized process for uploading an updated configuration profile to the remote agent in response to the device being migrated to the new geospatial boundary, the updated configuration profile comprising a set of sub-profiles, wherein each sub-profile of the set of sub-profiles is associated with a corresponding multidimensional spatial coordinate of the set of multidimensional spatial coordinates within the new geospatial boundary, and in response to recognizing the device is migrated to a distinct multidimensional spatial coordinate of the set of multidimensional spatial coordinates within the new geospatial boundary, a corresponding sub-profile of the set of sub-profiles included in the updated configuration profile is uploaded to the remote agent.
