SolarWinds Mobile Admin Version 7
With the consumerisation of IT, employees and (more significantly) CXOs are banging down the doors of the IT departments to be allowed to bring their choice of personal devices to work and to access the Enterprise IT systems with these gadgets.
IT staff can now "Bring Your Own Device" too!
A strict No-No in the past, mane enterprises and organisations have given in to the pressure and allowed BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) into their IT policies.
Now, the IT personnel too can jump on the bandwagon too.
SolarWinds, a provider of IT management software, has acquired Rove and released version 7 of the latter’s Mobile Admin software.
SolarWinds Mobile Admin software is designed specifically for mobile devices, with native applications for the most common mobile operating systems, and an extensive list of remote fix capabilities.
Now IT staff can also work with any device, from anywhere, anytime of the day (or night).
Mobile Admin works on iOS, Android and BlackBerry mobile devices.
From the queues of a grocery store, or at the cafe with friends, an IT staff can manage a server on the other side of the world – resetting passwords and rebooting servers.
Mobile Admin is used by thousands of customers to monitor and manage their corporate IT infrastructure from their iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, BlackBerry smartphones and PlayBook (OS2), and Kindle Fire.
In addition to dozens of third party systems and services, the latest version of Mobile Admin now adds support for Amazon EC2, Microsoft Active Sync, and SolarWinds network and server management products.
