Abstract

Whether you just want to take a peek of a remote computer status, or you want to install the latest version of a software on several workstations, you can do all of this from your computer. The networks are growing, the time spent administering the workstations increases and the number of repetitive tasks is going sky high. But here comes MESH to take that load off your shoulders. And because of SMS commands you can take this "command center" wherever you will go. Just connect a GSM phone to the computer (using a cable, IrDA or Bluetooth) and lock/restart/shutdown computers from your LAN with the push of a cell phone button. You can even create your own SMS commands. This is MESH - the network administrator's Swiss knife
