Abstract
A system providing for virtual network management is disclosed. A system in accordance with the present invention allows a service provider to remotely manage one or more client network management systems. The security of the client network management systems is advanced by only allowing communications between a client network management system and the service provider that have been initiated by the client network management system. A mirror image of a client network management system is maintained by the service provider as a virtual network management system. Data included in the virtual network management system is periodically updated with data received from the client network management system. Instructions or data may be passed from the service provider to the client network management system in reply to communications initiated by the client network management system. The present invention is particularly useful in connection with the remote management of client networks with respect to which security is a concern.
