Abstract/Summary

Servers benefit organizations in many ways. They serve as a central location to store and access business data and allow organizations to create backup copies of all their information. An organization can have multiple servers, which requires additional resources. To better utilize the resources required for several servers, virtualization is becoming a popular option amongst IT administrators. Although virtualization solves several issues, these servers still have to be monitored and managed by an administrator. And to complicate matters, these machines can be located in different geographical locations for a single organization. Accessing these servers found in different locations can be a problem for an administrator. Through the use of a mobile device, it becomes less of a problem. Nowadays, the number of mobile devices being bought by people has been increasing and their technology has been improving each year. The connectivity features of the current and future generations of mobile devices (3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, etc.) allow them to run remote management software. With this technology, organizations are able to gain access to servers, applications, databases, or management tools regardless of their location. However, when remote management software is operated on a mobile device, it consumes a lot of power and requires significant bandwidth. There are mobile applications for managing personal desktop computers but there are no such applications that manage physical or virtual services. As a result, this research focuses on developing a mobile management system for virtual servers.
