A networked data processing apparatus includes a first communication interface (102) adapted for transmitting and receiving commands and/or status messages related to a plurality of remotely located network devices connected via the interface, and further includes a first data storage for non-volatile storage of raw data received from the remote network devices. A processing unit (105) of the apparatus is adapted for processing raw data retrieved from the first data storage (104) or received in real-time via the first communication interface (102). The processing unit (105) further transmits commands and data to the remote network devices in response to processing respective corresponding data. The apparatus further includes a second data storage (107) for non-volatile storage of data processing results and is adapted for maintaining a link between data stored in the second storage (107) and raw data stored in the first data storage (104). A second communication interface (106) receives and handles data access requests, data processing requests and/or commands, and provides data and/or data processing results in response to the requests. |
