We have a list of user interfaces a mile long. On any given day I enter at least 10 different web interfaces, 4 different Java interfaces, 5 different fat clients and numerous RDP, Telnet and SSH connections. It would be nice to see them all in one pane of glass, but I don't think we will ever see that day happen. I have tried to combine as many connections as I can into programs like SecureCRT and use password managers for the web applications to make them easier to manage, but the number of products I support continues to grow each and everyday.
Microsoft tried to combine many of their programs into the MMC and we see where that went. I am back to fat client installs for exchange and SQL management.On the
Now, with all of that being said, I do appreciate the ability to access programs and servers via various methods. if i can't RDP, I can VNC or use Dell DRAC or HP iLO so I do appreciate the flexibility of not relying on a single pane of glass.
