Rackspace Introduces Cloud Server Application for the iPad

Hostingpublicity.com takes a look at a new app Rackspace has released for the iPad:

The Rackspace(R) Cloud, the cloud computing division of Rackspace Hosting, has announced the release of Rackspace Cloud Pro(TM), the first application for the new iPad(TM) to enable developers to monitor and manage their Rackspace Cloud Servers(TM). With Cloud Pro, users can turn on backups for a server, create new servers from backups, manage back-up scheduling, re-boot, rename, resize and delete servers — all using the iPad’s intuitive touchscreen interface. The free application is now available at iTunes.

The application also offers a panel on the login screen that shows users the current system status of the entire Rackspace Cloud and displays the US and UK Rackspace support numbers. Using Cloud Pro, users can also ping the public IP address for a Cloud Server to see how responsive their server is from wherever they are located. Cloud Pro for iPad frees businesses and developers from their desktops by offering them enterprise-quality server control and functionality through the convenience and mobility of the iPad.
