Central installation, deployment, and configuration of remote systems
First Claim
1. A system for installing one or more components on remote computers at one or more remote locations from a central computer at a central location comprising:
- a component repository at the central location to store a first component to be installed on a first remote computer located at a first remote site;
an instruction module to notify the first remote computer that the first component is stored in the component repository and to instruct the first remote computer to retrieve the first component from the component repository; and
a repository interface to receive a request for the first component from the first remote computer, to retrieve the first component from the component repository, and to provide the first component to the first remote computer.

Abstract
A system for installing one or more components at one or more remote locations from a central location is provided. The system includes a parent site, which may include a transceiver and a repository. The system also includes a first child site, which may include a first web service to receive a first communication from the transceiver indicating that a first application is stored in the repository, to retrieve the first application from the repository, and to configure the first application at the first child site. Some implementations may enable connectors to be installed, configured, and/or upgraded at multiple remote sites from a central location once a web-services program is installed at each remote site. This may make administering an enterprise easier, which may lead to reduced maintenance costs.
