Avocent: Remote server management via PDA
Avocent has produced a software application that will allow you to manage a Windows server remotely from your BlackBerry or any other Windows Mobile 5.0 enabled device. I have tried several free software packages for this exact purpose and none of them really worked great, but granted Avocent was not one of them. This was before Windows 5.0 came out, so perhaps the native mobile operating system has a lot to do with it. This is a great idea for mobile IT professionals who would need to access a server on the go, such as in the back of a warehouse on a wireless connection. Technically you could take a call and reset a password on the server, all from a nearby Starbucks if you wanted to. Very powerful software indeed. Yes, I said a Blackberry Bliss latte. That's right, with whip no foam. Ahh, the refreshing taste of good software. Nothing like it.
