Have you considered CompactDBA from WWW.CompactSQL.com?
It frees a DBA from being chained to his desk by turning a PocketPC
2003 based Cell Phone/PDA into a full blown DBA workstation that can
Monitor, Alert, Diagnose, and execute TSQL Scripts on up to 200 SQL
Servers at the same time!
CompactSQL contains prepackaged script templates that can be run from a
cell phone such as DBCC commands, update statistics, create backup and
restore, as
well as Shrink/Repair related commands. You can also start/stop
services as well as Reboot a server from your PDA Cell phone.
Also, as with all SQL Server montioring solutions, the DBA needs to
manually configure alert settings. Not so with CompactDBA's Alert
wizard that Analyzes your performance data and automatically sets alert
thresholds and then continually changes alert thresholds based on
current performance. This will reduce the amount of "false" alerts a
dba may receive.
