Launcher Smart Console Service [January 17,
2005]
Remote
console access helps server administrators regain control
when everything else fails
San
Diego, California – January 17, 2005 Aplus.Net
(www.aplus.net),
a leading web site hosting and development firm for
small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), announced today
the release of Smart Console, a service that allows
secure remote access to dedicated servers, and in many
cases, access to servers that are not even responding.
In
the event of a server emergency, Smart Console saves
IT administrators the time it would normally take to
call and work with a tech support specialist at the
server data center. Smart Console gives immediate remote
access and control over the core server functions.
Smart Console gives an administrator
access to a server in the event of low-level failures
- bypassing stressed or overloaded top-level programs.
For example, in the event of a server emergency, an
administrator can reboot or shutdown the server, re-configure
IP settings, list all processes or kill them, run text-based
applications, and take many other actions.
“In
the event of a server emergency, our dedicated server
customers can often fix the problem faster than they
can report it by phone,” said John Martis, Vice
President of Operations at Aplus.Net. “The root-level
access aspect of Smart Console takes server administration
to the next level.”
As a core-level access service, security
is paramount. Smart Console employs SSH v2 encryption
to keep server access passwords safe from hackers, and
it supports most SSH clients. The Smart Console service
is available for both Unix and Windows 2003-based servers.
On Windows 2003 servers, Smart Console gives access
to Microsoft’s Emergency Management Services (EMS),
a new feature in Windows Server 2003.
Aplus.Net
is offering a promotional discount to customers who
also order their Smart Monitor service, which offers
detailed server status reporting and allows for the
creation of fully customizable email alerts for almost
any server event.

to the service via the Aplus.Net Control Panel, while
new customers can contact an Aplus.Net product consultant
