SCO Announces New Version of HipCheck |
|
The SCO Group (News - Alert) has released version 1.0.3 of its innovative HipCheck solution boasting increased real-time systems mobile monitoring and intervention functions that a system administrator can perform from a growing number of mobile handsets.
HipCheck, a mobile administration solution combines system monitoring and alerts with secure mobile intervention. The new version will monitor and manage additional UNIX and Windows server and desktop operating environments from a growing number of Windows Mobile, Pocket PC and Palm OS-based smart phones.
The new solution adds Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows 2000, Sun Solaris and SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 through 7.1.3 to its already comprehensive support for Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms.
A large number of Java-capable and Windows Mobile and PocketPC devices can be used for remote management and control of servers and desktops. Palm Treo smart phones has also joined this rapidly growing list.
“As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner we pride ourselves on our responsiveness and innovative approach - it’s the way we work that adds value to our clients,” said David Graesser, managing director of Tek Response in a statement to the press.
He continued: “When we saw HipCheck we knew that the flexibility it offered us would be an ideal means of monitoring and managing our customers Windows servers. We’ve already found that this proactive approach has improved our service to our clients, making our own IT administration much easier and our service to our clients has improved as a result.”
HipCheck has also increased the productivity of system administrators at Yanex, a major UK information technology services firm. Yanex used the solution to expand the functions that can be initiated from a mobile device to include tasks such as rebooting servers, executing command lines and managing user accounts including passwords on monitored servers.
“The productivity and job satisfaction of my system administrators has increased because tasks that traditionally could only be performed from a system console can now be done from a mobile handset,” said Chris Woolfenden, technical director of Yanex.
“The real-time nature of the service enables system administrators to monitor and proactively manage critical environments anytime, anywhere, even when network connections themselves are unreliable,” added Sandy Gupta, chief technology officer for The SCO Group.
The SCO Group is a provider of UNIX software technology and mobile services.
