Systems and methods for updating information handling systems at a remote network location from the update repository

Abstract

For information handling systems at the edge of a network, updates must traverse an extensive network pathway from an update catalog to the information handling systems. Traversing a long network pathway involves handling by numerous devices. Each device that handles the updates along the pathway results in consumption of resources (e.g., processing resources, memory, power, time, etc.)—the more devices that handle the updates, the more overall resource cost for processing the updates. Thus, improving how updates are handled, particularly at edges of networks, yield significant savings. Presented herein are new and more efficient systems and methods that coordinate updates to information handling systems at remote locations.
