14 DAY TRIAL // A new software solution is now available for mobile phones running under Google's Android operating system, namely the SoftLayer Mobile Client for Android. Delivered by the innovative on-demand data center services provider SoftLayer Technologies (which enables enterprise customers to benefit from control, security, and ease-of-management in an on-demand IT solution), the new mobile application is meant to provide users of Android-based handsets with the possibility to try out a part of the functionality of SoftLayer’s highly valued Customer Portal.
According to the company, the new SoftLayer Mobile Client for Android offers users the possibility to manage: - Tickets: Allows the creation and viewing of tickets for support questions or requests. - Servers: Provides details about Dedicated Servers, Virtual Servers, and CloudLayer Computing Instances, as well as the ability to manage system startup, shutdown, pinging, and reboot. - Bandwidth: Delivers bandwidth usage information for Dedicated Servers, CloudLayer Computing Instances, and Virtual Racks.
The SoftLayer Mobile Client for Android has been already made available for the owners of devices running under the Android platform, the company stated. Those interested in its features can either head over to SoftLayer's website to download it, or they can search for the native application over at the Android Market. The new solution joins hands with the previously released mobile client for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. According to the company, it also plans on providing the solution to more devices and more operating systems.
“SoftLayer is committed to making hosting and server management as easy and convenient as possible for our customers. So we’ve leveraged the power, security, and connectivity of the latest mobile devices to take that convenience even farther—literally wherever our customers go,” said Nathan Day, SoftLayer Chief Technology Officer. “And as a native application, Mobile Client for Android truly provides robustness and a level of control that just isn’t possible with a mere mobile-web version of a management portal.”
