Integrated Features
Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration of
remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated management
services. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the system being
managed and is accessible remotely from the Server Administrator home
page. Remotely monitored systems may be accessed by dial-in, LAN,
or wireless connections. Server Administrator ensures the security of its
management connections through role-based access control (RBAC),
authentication, and industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.
