With many IT departments operating in down-sized environments as well as under-staffed employees being forced to manage an exceptional amount of mission-critical server room equipment than what they can handle; the ability to remotely monitor and repair computer problems on the go is an important task in today's modern data center. Two remote monitoring options available for controlling computers over IP means will allow network administrators to view computers and access problems as they arise. Following we compare and contrast the two most popular methods of remote access computer management in the industry today.
Both hardware and software based remote computer management solutions offers users valuable remote IP access when needed; however, each solution holds their own when comparisons are drawn between these unique solutions. Although, they each share one main feature - hardware based KVM over IP devices and Remote Desktop client based software perform as though you are sitting directly in front of the target system, manageable from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Surveillance software can be used to monitor a person and steal passwords and other sensitive information like financial transactions and confidential matters pertaining to business deals. Computers are most vulnerable when used online.
Key logger programs include SpectorSoft's Spector Pro and EBlaster, XPCSpy, and Omnisquad's Desktop Surveillance Personal edition. Programs like these abound and they are used to spy on you without your knowledge or consent. In many states an employer or spouse is legally entitled to use these.
Late night trips to the data center to reboot one server have become a thing of the past because of this simple yet robust hardware component. KVM via IP front-end devices such as the Raritan Dominion KX101 will connect directly to a computer or a KVM switch and permits remote users to gain secure BIOS-level access to manage mission-critical servers. Remote IP management with products such as the Raritan Dominion KX or the Avocent DS Series is conducted through a standard internet browser session. Front-end IP products work their magic by allowing remote users to gain full Keyboard, Video Monitor, Mouse access of the attached computer(s) from any location with internet connectivity.
Cleverly designed, most anti-spyware programs cannot detect or disable surveillance spyware efficiently. And, spywares are being improved as we speak. You can only attempt to create your own protective fortress by using multiple anti-spyware tools. For example a good workable combination according to PCworld would be Ad-ware, spybot, Pestpatrol, and Spysweeper.
