A system for providing a change management service (CM) to at least one client therein is provided. The system includes a peer-to-peer (P2P) system imposed on the network system, wherein the at least one client is a peer in the P2P system, a syndication feed operable to provide a notification of the CM service to the at least one client, and at least one host operable as a source in the P2P system to provide the CM service to the at least one client through the imposed P2P system.

Change management

Cryptographic keys are distributed to computer systems to be remotely managed by a management node. First secure channels are established between the management node and trusted computing platforms associated with the computer systems. Cryptographic keys are sent to the trusted computing platforms via the first secure channels, wherein the cryptographic keys are stored in the trusted computing platforms and retrieved from the trusted computing platforms by the computer systems. Second secure channels are established with the computer systems using the retrieved cryptographic keys. Commands are remotely executed on one or more of the computer systems via the second secure channels.

Cryptographic key distribution using a trusted computing platform

A system for providing a network booting (NB) of at least one client therein is provided. The system includes a torrent-based peer-to-peer (P2P) system imposed on the network system, wherein the at least one client is a peer in the P2P system; and at least one host operable as a source in the torrent-based P2P system to provide at least one NB application to the at least one client through the torrent-based P2P system for network booting of the at least one client.

A method and an apparatus for achieving a tailored content response based upon a product identifier coupled with a user identifier are provided. In one method embodiment, the present invention receives a machine readable indicia wherein at least a first portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the product identifier and at least a second portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the user identifier. Next, a product associated with the product identifier is identified in a database, wherein the database is not required to be formatted according to an extrinsic product identification standard. Moreover, a user profile associated with the user identifier is identified, the user profile comprising context information for the user. A tailored content response is then compiled for the device based upon the product and the context information.

A method and an apparatus for achieving a tailored content response based upon a product identifier coupled with a user identifier and a device identifier are provided. In one method embodiment, the present invention receives a machine readable indicia wherein at least a first portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the product identifier, at least a second portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the user identifier and at least a third portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the device identifier. Next, a product associated with the product identifier is identified in a database not required to be formatted according to an extrinsic product identification standard. Moreover, a user profile and device profile associated with the user identifier and device identifier is identified. A tailored content response is then compiled for the device based upon the product and context information.
