Abstract: There is provided a system and method for controlling a plurality of endpoint devices. Multiple connection requests, each connection request originating from an endpoint device are received by a server. Each endpoint device has a client interface thereat that generates the connection request as an outbound connection request from the endpoint device to the server computer. A persistent data communication session is established between the server computer and the client interface of each endpoint device. Command data is received to control one or more of the endpoint devices. The server computer generates a data packet including the command data and transmits the data packet via the persistent data communication session to the endpoint device, to enable the endpoint device instructions to be carried out by the endpoint device, and result data is then received by the server once the instructions are carried out.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for controlling network traffic. The method is conducted at a destination controller accessible by a server computer. Telemetry data is received by the destination controller from a plurality of network nodes managed by the server computer. A data transfer request originating from a user device is received by the destination controller. The destination controller accesses a list of stored network node addresses and applies one or more rules to the list of network node addresses to identify a network node address pointing to a network node for handling network traffic originating from the user device that generated the data transfer request. The network node identified by the destination controller then services the data transfer request, and transmits updated telemetry data of the network node to the destination controller where the list is updated.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for automatically scaling a number of deployed application delivery controllers (ADCs) in a digital network. The method is conducted at a destination controller provided or accessed by a server computer. The destination controller receives telemetry data from a plurality of ADCs managed by the server computer. The destination controller also receives multiple data transfer requests originating from a plurality of user devices that are connected to the destination controller. A number of currently deployed ADCs for handling network traffic originating from the plurality of user devices may be detected by the destination controller or by the system. The telemetry data is intelligently processed, and the number of deployed ADCs is automatically scaled, based on the received telemetry data, or based on an output of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) module.
