SAP BASIS Administrator, IT outsourcing company

I work as an SAP BASIS Administrator, which involves the installation, maintenance, and monitoring of SAP systems, primarily on UNIX-based servers. I am currently doing contract work at a large IT outsourcing company providing support to multiple customers. All access to customer UNIX servers is via mandatory SSH.

I use SecureCRT® and SecureFX® to access over 60 UNIX servers (that number increases because accessing the servers remotely from my employer's head office is via NAT'ed IP addresses, and working on-site at a customer site requires the actual TCP/IP address of the servers.

SecureCRT's user-defined Connect dialog folder tree allows me to arrange these entries into onsite and offsite categories, subdivided by customer and then server, all in one neat dialog. Each customer's configuration also includes a distinctive color background, so when I'm using SecureCRT and its tabbed interface, I simply cannot go wrong. And it's incredibly convenient to have all configuration available in both SecureCRT and SecureFX.
