For IT teams around the world, device management is cumbersome and annoying. There are hoops to jump through in order to add new devices.

In the spring of 2006, I was frustrated. As an IT professional, my team and I were responsible for 1000 endpoints and we were struggling to manage them all.

We used a combination of RDP/VNC along with NAT rules and IP restrictions in order to remote into "jump boxes" at each site. Once in a jump box, we would start another remote control session to other devices on the remote network.
