PA Server Monitor Ultra is a powerful application that allows you to monitor servers and devices on the local area network. The Ultra edition of PA Server Monitor can also monitor remote servers and devices corporate firewalls, and across the Internet without needing a VPN.
This is accomplished by installing a Satellite Monitoring Service on a single server or workstation at the remote site. The Satellite will then monitor itself (the computer it is installed on) and/or other servers and devices on the local LAN at the remote site. Alerts and monitoring data will be sent back to the Central Monitoring Service via SSL-encrypted HTTP.
You can use the program to monitor and generate reports about the activity of each device or computer.
