Abstract:

Replacement of legacy information handling systems at a deployment site is automatically managed in cooperation with an information handling system manufacture site by coordinating the building of replacement information handling systems with appropriate configurations. An asset discovery tool interfaces with the legacy information handling systems through a deployment site network to discover the configurations of the legacy systems and communicates the legacy configurations to the manufacture site. An asset translation engine translates the legacy configurations to replacement configurations for building the replacement information handling systems. The ordering of replacement systems and the translation to the replacement configuration is managed by rules defined through an order tool of the deployment site and may include applications packaged at the deployment site and communicated to the manufacture site for installation on the replacement systems.
