Soluto – In the Beginning:
Soluto has done it again. No longer a simple client PC application it has evolved and iterated into a sophisticated Control Panel for system management of multiple PCs.
Uncle Monty’s Got No Internet:
Many of us who are used to the frantic calls to resolve PC issues for friends and family were overjoyed with this remote access solution; allowing you the Power User to solve these issues from the comfort of your own chair and computer.
You may have heard it here first:
I wrote on my old blog in July 2010 about how to use Soluto hand in hand with CCleaner and FileHippo; this was the best way at the time to ensure a smooth running, stable PC.
Awhile later I indulged in predicting via Twitter that @soluto should romance either CCleaner or FIlehippo as the results would be awesome.
Will It Blend?
Last week the guys at Soluto did one better and announced on their blog that they are incorporating a Disk Cleaner and App Installer (beginning with Skype apparently with other apps to follow).
As a freemium user you get to invite 4 other users and be their Power User / Online Support:
So we have one killer app that basically will allow you to do away with: –
-
Maintaining a stable, optimized boot and running OS
-
3rd Party Patch Management
-
Remote Access Tools for Support
-
The uncertainty of DIY 3rd Party App Maintenance
What Next?
That’s Soluto today as a Freemium version. It doesn’t take much to imagine the Web App / Soluto Client providing support for iOS or Linux (even Mobile platforms) but the kicker is going to be seeing your Sys-admin maintain your whole IT infrastructure via Soluto with an Enterprise version. (prediction)
In a nutshell for all you LOTR fans this will likely be the One Ring to Rule Them All.
