Abstract

A method, system, and/or computer program product improves an operation of an enterprise network. One or more processors receive an electronic request for delivery of a legacy component to an enterprise network of an enterprise. The processor(s) determine whether an upgrade component is available to the enterprise to replace the legacy component in the enterprise network based on predetermined request throttling parameters set by a receiver of the electronic request. The processor(s), in response to determining that the upgrade component is available to the enterprise, query a hardware sensor in the enterprise network for a sensor reading that indicates whether the upgrade component is compatible with an architecture of the enterprise network. The processor(s), in response to determining that the sensor reading indicates that the upgrade component is compatible with the enterprise network, reconfigure the enterprise network by an electronic installation of the upgrade component into the enterprise network.
