CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 10, 2002 - Sonic Mobility Inc. (www.sonicmobility.com) today announced the shipment and general availability of sonicadmin 2.6, a complete network and server administration utility that allows system administrators and support workers to perform complete server and network management on a 24x7 basis from a handheld wireless device such as the HP iPAQ or Blackberry from Research In Motion Limited (RIM.)
Version 2.6 is a significant upgrade to sonicadmin adding support for the new Java based Blackberries (5810/20 and 6710/20) as well as being certified for the Pocket PC Phone Edition or XDA. Larger install sites can make use of valuable new functionality such as a new server autodiscovery feature and NTLM authentication. The new features complement sonicadmin’s core functionality which includes power cycling, server rebooting, user management, and command line access. Customers using these powerful features are quickly realizing reductions in systems downtime and increased organizational productivity levels.
"Sonic Mobility has succeeded in creating an extremely useful remote management system which doesn't compromise security or ease of use." said Peter Rysavy, president of Rysavy Research and columnist with MyITForum.com.
"As our customer base continues to expand, we have been responding to customer requests for specific platform support and enterprise features which have been integrated into version 2.6 of sonicadmin. In addition, our military and government customers required the use of end-to-end 3DES encryption which has now been included for all customers. Our objective is to allow a system administrator to do all the things that they could do from a workstation with their wireless device without compromising security," said Derek Ball, CEO of Sonic Mobility.
Ball added that “companies using sonicadmin experience less system downtime, network users are more productive and customers are better served. System administrators using sonicadmin have the flexibility and mobility to do their jobs more effectively as well as balance their professional and personal lives."
