Abstract
Systems and methods are described that comprise receiving at a platform device data of client devices. The device data is stored in device files. The device files are replicated at multiple distribution platforms. The device file corresponding to each client device is downloaded to the device, and the downloading is performed from a distribution platform geographically closest to the client device. The downloaded device file is evaluated with the device data on the client device and a determination is made when a new device file is available for the client device. The new device file is downloaded from an update server when it is determined that the new device data file is available.
