Access remote server
 

Hello,

I'm setting up a server for a medical facility which will be acting as an records fileserver for their LAN.

The server will be in a different location than myself and will be based on CentOS.

To provide support, I need complete access to this server remotely.

What's the best way to go about. I would consider the likes of Teamviewer, but what if there comes a time when there's a problem at OS level or maybe at boot level.

Hi,

you need to be able to ssh to the box, and you should also look into something like IPMI.

I had to look up what teamviewer is. Are you even planning on running X on the fileserver?

What exactly is your sysadmin experience?

Evo2.

Wouldn't IPMI be more for temperature and the likes? I need remote access more from after the time the machine boots up (after BIOS).

Nope, there's no X.

ILO or DRAC card (or whatever your server supplier's equivilent is) in your server or KVM over IP is the best way to ensure you have full visibility of a server.
