We manage a few self contained sites (about 20) that require our mobile management team to interface with the storage solutions there. We are looking into the possibility of removing our management servers there and using a laptop with the Storage Management Software.Is the software compatible with say Windows 10 or would we have to have Windows 2012r2 as the OS. There are other issues preventing hosting the software on the server that is being backed up so a portable solution is kind of where we are being driven. The other part of the question came from one of our techs - the manuals refer to the "terminal emulator". How is this accessed?
