Abstract

System, method and program product for programming an application computer accessible to a user via a first network to perform a service for the user. The application computer, a program code server, a management computer and the first network are connected to a multiport switch. The management computer directs the switch to form a first VLAN to connect the management computer to the application computer. The management computer configures the application computer via the first VLAN to receive an application program to perform the service for the user. The management computer directs the switch to form a second VLAN to connect the code server to the application computer. The code server downloads the application program to the application computer via the second VLAN. The application computer is connected to the first network via a third VLAN of the switch to provide the service of the application program for the user via the first network.
