Abstract

A method and system are provided. The method includes determining, by a processor-based capability determining element, different capabilities of each of different devices connected through one or more networks. The different capabilities include communication capabilities and manageability capabilities. The method further includes classifying, by the processor-based capability determining element, the different devices according to capability maturity rankings supported by the different capabilities to provide maturity-based capability classifications for the different devices. The capability maturity rankings are based on capability maturity criteria. The method also includes dynamically managing, by a controller, operations of the different devices in accordance with the maturity-based capability classifications.
