Solving the need to manage remote access

In today's complex corporate IT environments, IT managers are charged with managing remote server rooms and distributed IT assets at a "clicks' length" so that every problem is dealt in real- time, or even better, prevented through ongoing maintenance. This calls for a secure, simple yet cost-effective solution to manage the ever-growing list of remote access connections and protocols used by the IT administrator and his staff.
