Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for remotely monitoring and controlling traditional software application/computer program behavior through the use of a hybrid client-server data proxy controller (DPC). The client DPC intercepts application read/write/delete operations and relays the operations to the data storage area(s). Activity information is asynchronously sent to a server DPC in a remote computing environment where the monitored activity is recorded, analyzed, and application business logic is processed. The server DPC sends instructions back to the client DPC, whereby modifications to the client DPC behavior, software application, and data storage area can be made.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

an application in a computing environment, accessing information stored in a physical or abstract data storage area;

a client data proxy controller (cDPC) to which read instructions, access instructions and write/delete instructions are relayed from the software application to the data storage area;

optional memory cache, DAL, and likewise ancillary components of the cDPC package; and

a server data proxy controller (sDPC) to which cDPC data activity is asynchronously sent and processed;

whereby instructions are then returned to the cDPC to affect application behavior.
