Since the Colocated equipment is yours, you can decide what software to install
for remote management. Most equipment already will have web based or telnet
based remote management support, and most windows servers already have built in
remote management capability. Unix based Colocated servers typically support
SSH which is a secure encrypted method of remotely managing servers.
SSH is a replacement for the older insecure protocols
such as ftp, rlogin and telnet.
TurnKey Internet highly recommends SCP for
for managing any server capable of the SSH protocol, it is the fastest most secure way to send and receive files to your
Colocated Server (even faster than FTP). You can also use PuTTY: (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/),
and SecureCRT: (http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt).
You are free to install any software on your Colocated equipment for remote management,
and TurnKey Colocation offers a TurnKey 'remote hands' administration service utilizing
just a web browser to attach to our custom KVM (keyboard Video Mouse) Switch that can
directly manipulate your server (as if you were at the screen typing on the keyboard,
looking at the monitor and moving the mouse!). This TurnKey 'remote hands'
administration service is ideal for emergency recovery, booting into multiple
operating systems, bios or system changes, and other non standard remote management needs.
