Abstract

Systems and methods for computer network infrastructure provisioning are provided. In one illustrative implementation, a base server is sent to and physically installed at a remote site by field technicians, the base server automatically and securely connects back to a central site, and then becomes the platform to logically provision all other network elements to start a remote network infrastructure, wherein this process may be accomplished without intervention by network engineers at the remote site. The connection and communication between the central and remote site can be implemented over various networks, such as over the Internet, over a private IP network, over a cellular network, and/or other networks. According to implementations herein, the base server can ensure physical and logical integrity even if the environment or the chain of custody of the equipment involved is not trusted.
