Abstract: A system, method and computer program for acquiring analyzed device control support information in a field population of distributed devices operable to be connected in a network to a virtualizer has an aggregator adapted to be coupled to said virtualizer. The virtualizer is adapted to be coupled to at least one device in the field population and operable to query device control support data from the device and forward the device control support data to the aggregator; and the aggregator is operable to aggregate device control support data and forward aggregated data. A host is arranged to receive the aggregated data across the network and to analyze the aggregated data to provide analyzed device control support information for the field population of distributed devices.
