    Enterprise company ScaleXtreme, which provides cloud-based server automation products for data centers, an iPhone app today. Basically, ScaleXtreme for the iPhone gives IT admins an on-the-go view of their physical servers, virtual machines and public cloud instances.

    As we’ve written in the past, ScaleXtreme offers a simple, data center automation SaaS. The automation platform allows companies to build and control physical, virtual and public cloud servers. The company has raised $13.5 million from Accel and others.

    As co-founder Nand Mulchandani explains, “Mobility is becoming a central component of any modern IT operation, and the mobile experience is going to be an important part of our product’s future.”

    The iPhone app has much of the same monitoring functionality as the cloud-based product. The app itself gives IT admins the ability to monitor server performance and job alerts. The app will track of all your computing resources and helps you manage them efficiently. Basically, the app, which is designed as a companion to the web app, gets IT admins access to server systems from anywhere at anytime, which Mulchandani says is a pain point for IT professionals.
