14. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium that stores computer-readable instructions that direct a processor to:
-
receive a network management request comprising a request to update a configuration of a second network for configuring the second network from one or more client computing devices through a first network, and determine that the network management request is directed to the second network and comprises a request to update a configuration of the second network, wherein the first network coupling the plurality of servers to each other and configured to connect the plurality of servers to the one or more client computing devices, and wherein the second network coupling the plurality of servers to each other, wherein data transferred between the plurality of servers is transferred through the second network; translate the network management request into an action to be performed on the second network; and issue the action to one or more components of the second network. - View Dependent Claims (15)
