Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a hierarchy of appliances to more efficiently access resources across a plurality of branch offices. A method comprises the steps of : establishing, by a first aggregator appliance (400A), connections with a first plurality of branch office appliances (200A,..., 200N); establishing, by a second aggregator appliance (400B), connections with a second plurality of branch office appliances (200A',..., 200N' ), the first plurality of branch office appliances not having information identifying the second plurality of branch office appliances; receiving, by the first aggregator appliance (400A), from a first branch office appliance (200A) a request from a client for access to a resource; identifying, by the first aggregator appliance (400A) via the second aggregator appliance (400B), a second branch office appliance (200A') from the second plurality of branch office appliances (200A',..., 200N' ) to service the request; transmitting, by the first aggregator appliance (400A), to the first branch office appliance (200A) information identifying the second branch office appliance (200A'); and establishing, by the first branch office appliance (200A), a connection with the second branch office appliance (200A'). Corresponding systems are also described.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés qui permettent d'établir une hiérarchie d'appareils afin d'accéder avec une plus grande efficacité aux ressources d'une pluralité de succursales. Le procédé de l'invention fonctionne de la manière suivante: un premier appareil agrégateur établit des connexions avec une première pluralité d'appareils de succursale; un second appareil agrégateur établit des connexions avec une seconde pluralité d'appareils de succursales, la première pluralité d'appareils de succursale ne possédant pas d'informations identifiant la seconde pluralité d'appareils de succursale; le premier appareil agrégateur reçoit d'un premier appareil de succursale une demande d'accès à une ressource en provenance d'un client; le premier appareil agrégateur identifie parmi la seconde pluralité d'appareils de succursale, par le biais du second appareil agrégateur, un second appareil de succursale qui va répondre à la demande; le premier appareil agrégateur transmet au premier appareil de succursale des informations identifiant le second appareil de succursale; et le premier appareil de succursale établit une connexion avec le second appareil de succursale. L'invention se rapporte également à des systèmes correspondants.
