Remote management unit with interface for remote data exchange

摘要

A remote management unit - RMU - (50) manages a local data processing unit - DPU - (10) from remote by a remote DPU (90). The RMU (50) is coupled to the remote DPU (90) by means of a network (100) external with respect to the local DPU (10), and the RMU (50) is coupled with the local DPU (10) through an internal bus of the local DPU (10). The RMU (50) comprises a data exchange interface (60) for providing a data exchange between the local DPU (10) and a remote data carrier (110) coupled with the RMU (50) through the external network (100). The data exchange interface (60) is configured such that the local DPU (10) regards the data exchange interface (60) as representing or providing a standard interface of a data carrier type known by the local DPU (10). The data exchange interface (60) is further configured to provide a data exchange of the RMU (50) with the remote data carrier (110) through the external network (100) for executing the data exchange between the local DPU (10) and the remote data carrier (110). <IMAGE>
