Unified network management for heterogeneous edge enterprise network

Abstract

A system and method are provided which facilitate a unified network management for a heterogeneous edge enterprise network. In one aspect, the system establishes, by a cloud controller, a secure connection to an edge device in an edge network. The cloud controller deploys to the edge device a module which includes a proxy agent, thereby allowing the module to be installed on the edge device. The system monitors data obtained from the edge device based on a set of rules. Responsive to detecting a trigger condition based on the monitored data, the system performs a predetermined action corresponding to the detected trigger condition. The predetermined action can comprise sending a configuration command to be executed on the edge device or sending an action to be performed by the proxy agent on other entities communicatively coupled to the edge network (e.g., client devices and applications).
