Content from multiple remote/legacy consoles is aggregated within a
central console to provide a single point-of-access for managing remote
resources. Preferred embodiments deploy the central console as a
network-accessible application, and this console application communicates
with remotely-located console applications (and/or other
locally-executing functions) that carry out tasks selected from the
central console by an administrator and then return content generated by
those tasks for rendering in the central console. The run-time
environment used at the central console is not required to match the
run-time environment of the remote/legacy consoles.
