Rove, a provider of mobile IT management solutions, has announced version 4.0 of its Mobile Admin client that turns iPads into high-performing, secure IT management platforms.

An iOS client for the Rove Mobile Admin IT management solution, the Rove Mobile Admin app has reached version 4.0 adding native iPad support (including improvements to free SSH/RDP/Telnet for the iPad).

The update also delivers usability improvements for handling long server lists, a monitoring environment included in the real-time dashboard for Windows-based networks and internet aware devices, monitoring of Symantec Backup Exec status, and support for CA Service Desk Change Orders.

Commenting on the new release, Russell Ure, president and COO of Rove said, “Rove Mobile Admin combined with an iPad is a real game changer for the IT support discipline. Rove gives users much improved situational awareness plus the power to address issues and requests as they arise from wherever they are.”

“Many of our customers are looking to realize this immense potential for improved efficiency and effectiveness in short order and are rapidly adopting our solution for this purpose,” added  Ure.

The company also shares the impressions of Erik Woodland, technical support supervisor and Network Administrator for Fenner Drives, a leading manufacturer of products for industrial power transmission, motion transfer and conveying applications.

Woodland describes his experience with the new Rove Mobile Admin Client for iPad saying, "Rove Mobile Admin on my iPad lets me check into things extremely quickly and diagnose problems right on the spot, so no matter where I am I never have to worry about finding a computer or a network to get the essential details of an incident.

In conclusion, “We can respond faster and be more productive with Rove – we have it loaded up on our entire IT staff’s iPads!”, he said.

Rove Mobile Admin Client is a free application, although the service is not.
