VanDyke Software® Launches SecureCRT® for Apple iPad®
IT professionals now have secure remote access on-the-go with VanDyke's first iOS platform product
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VanDyke Software, a developer of multi-platform secure terminal emulation and secure file transfer software, today announced the availability of SecureCRT for iPad, the company's first iOS-based IT administration product.
VanDyke's focus since the company's inception in 1995 has been developing secure access software that saves time for IT professionals, while allowing them to manage "anywhere access" for enterprise employees who need to work remotely and securely "tunnel" email, web, and corporate applications data. Before today's iOS platform product announcement, VanDyke Software provided its SecureCRT product on Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® platforms. SecureCRT for iPad enables remote access away from the desk and away from the office, increasing network administrators' productivity, flexibility, and mobility—major benefits for busy IT professionals.
"For the last few years we've seen an increased use of tablets, and more specifically the iPad. People are becoming accustomed to being able to carry their devices and productivity apps with them and work from anywhere. For network administrators and IT managers, there's a need for software that extends the use of these devices, allowing them to securely access data and perform IT administration tasks without compromising enterprise security," said Maureen Jett, product director for SecureCRT at VanDyke Software. "With SecureCRT on their iPad, IT professionals charged with facilitating remote data access for enterprise employees now have the freedom to be on-the-go themselves."
"SecureCRT for iPad makes it easier for me to perform quick checks on customer systems without having to boot a computer," said John G. Palma, principal and network architect at JKD Group, LLC. "It's an indispensable tool that's much simpler to carry around. Navigating the SecureCRT terminal screen is straightforward compared to competing products—SecureCRT is simply easier."
SecureCRT for iPad offers the following key features and benefits:
- Customize session settings for emulation, appearance, logon, authentication, and more.
- Organize sessions into folders.
- Import sessions from SecureCRT for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
- Run multiple sessions at the same time.
- Connect to the same session or host multiple times.
- Choose from emulations like VT100/102/220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console. All emulations supported on SecureCRT for Windows, Max, and Linux are supported on iOS.
- Troubleshoot connections with trace options.
