Abstract: A system and method for providing a unified user interface from a control plane server. The control plane server transmits cloud interface information and console interface location information to a client device. The cloud interface information is for generating a cloud portion of the unified user interface, and the console interface location information identifies a console interface associated with a data plane. The transmitted information is configured to permit the client device to present the unified user interface with the cloud portion and a user interface element. In response to a user selecting the element, the client device is caused to retrieve a console portion of the unified user interface directly from the data plane. The unified user interface may operate without the control plane server having access to the console portion.

Abstract: A distributed software system that includes a unified user interface. A client device receives user interface information for generating a cloud portion of a unified user interface and console interface location information for locating a console interface. The cloud interface is associated with a control plane and the console interface is associated with a data plane. The client device presents the unified user interface including the cloud portion and a user interface element associated with the console interface location information. The client device receives a user input indicating a selection of the user interface element. The client device receives console interface information for generating a console portion of the unified user interface and presents the unified user interface including the cloud portion and the console portion. The data plane is prohibited from transmitting the console portion of the unified user interface to the control plane.
