CLOUD COMPUTING AS A SERVICE FOR ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE AND DATA PROVISIONING

A system, including a central server, remotely install server agents, and administrative agents, is disclosed for provisioning software and updates, maintenance directives, and data to client machines within a central domain or a remote disjoint domain. By monitoring network traffic through various network nodes, a focal point of network traffic for all machines in the domain may be identified by the central server. A server agent is installed at the focal point network node for identifying all machines in the domain. Administrative agents are installed on all identified machines. The administrative agents facilitate the copying and distribution of files needed for software and data provisioning and maintenance.
