• Let me start by saying am already able to work reasonably well remotely, with a company supplied laptop and a wireless aircard to use when necessary. Am also fortunate to have a good alerting system set up (combination of custom tools, sql's generic alerting system and a very good NOC) that calls me when needed. So I don't constantly eye my servers when not at work and honestly there are too many of them to do that. But when I think the ipad/remote monitoring would be useful perhaps is when we do patch reboots or have one of those dreaded 'maintenence' weekends when all servers are patched and I have to check if each of them came back online and all services were up. That itself takes like 36 hours with short breaks in between. A tool that can check each server and show me status online or email me a status report, not sure if this tool can do that) would be SIMPLY AWESOME! 🙂 Thanks.
