“When I get frantic calls from my users at random times, I turn to the assistant that’s always by my side: my iPad. With so many good technical apps available for the iPad, I can use the tablet to manage my servers from just about anywhere I can get Wi-Fi,” Brian Chee reports for InfoWorld.

“This collection of iPad apps includes remote access, network diagnostics, documentation, and other tools I’ve been using for the last couple years,” Chee reports. “It certainly isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it has been extremely useful to me.”

Chee reports, “It’s all you need for those minor changes — to reset a password, unlock a user account, add a firewall exception, create a new SSL-VPN user, and more.”
