        Avocent Corp. has announced two new software packages for managing data on and from PDAs and other mobile devices. MobileSentinel enables remote management of mobile devices, while AdminSentinel enables securely performing many routine server administrative functions from a mobile device. Both support Windows Mobile for Pocket PCs.




        According to Avocent, AdminSentinel uses a real-time secure proxy model to perform many routine server administrative functions from a mobile device. For example, the administrator can reboot a server, unlock/change passwords, restart services not functioning properly, view event logs, move files, and send messages to logged-in users.

        MobileSentinel is said to add a new level of network security for mobile devices, by enabling remote control and administration of PDAs and smartphones that connect to a computer network. Administrators can monitor all mobile devices for current status, apply passwords to unprotected devices, and manage mobile user groups, in addition to several other capabilities. For mobile devices that are lost or stolen, MobileSentinel allows an administrator to centrally control and wipe out sensitive data.
