Android Gets a Boost from Rove

Rove Mobile Admin for Google Android™ Smartphones Provides Anytime, Anywhere IT Management

OTTAWA, ONTARIO - May 18, 2010 - Rove Inc., the leader in IT infrastructure management from smartphones, today announced its award-winning mobile IT management solution, Rove Mobile Admin, now features client software for the fastest-growing segment in the smartphone marketplace: phones powered by Google’s Android operating system. Recently found by eWEEK labs to “deliver administrators powerful data center management tools for a smartphone,” Rove Mobile Admin enables IT professionals to identify, diagnose, triage and resolve IT issues without the need for a laptop computer or internet connection. With access to secure remote IT administration from their Android device, IT staff can address IT incidents immediately to reduce network downtime and provide exceptional customer service, all while enjoying ultimate freedom and productivity when on the job — and they’re always on the job.

“Rove Mobile Admin gives me the confidence that no matter what the IT problem is, I can address it securely from my Motorola Droid™,” said Ron Gillis, CIO of Community Health Care Inc,” a provider of essential primary health and dental care to uninsured, underinsured and homeless persons regardless of their ability to pay, with 6 locations across Illinois and Iowa. “With funds being tight and not enough of us to go around, Rove Mobile Admin gives us the much-needed ability to be at more than one place at a time.”

“I have multiple client sites all tied back to my network operations center,” said William Adams, President of California-based Managed IT Services provider Genecent Networks Inc. “Rove Mobile Admin gives us a single interface to a high level of network administration so that we have the freedom to make adjustments to our clients’ networks from wherever we are.”

“I can’t think of any feature set or need that isn’t provided to me with Rove Mobile Admin,” added Ron Gillis. “There are a million little apps you can get for your phone but no tool does it all in one place except Rove’s.”

The Rove Mobile Admin client is available immediately from Android Market and supports Android OS versions 1.5 and higher.

On May 26 from 1-2 PM EDT Rove is hosting an All-Android-All-The-Time, live online product demonstration featuring its new Android client software. Event registration is located at www.roveit.com/android-demo.
