PuTTY for Windows offers a host of features that make the setup and configuration of switches, routers, and servers on your network a breeze.
As a technologist and IT professional who wears several different hats throughout the workday, typically throw full support behind any proven technology that can lighten the workload—or at least free up more time so that it can be as productive as possible for oneself and the fellow team members.
It is also the core belief that it's important to work smarter, not harder. This means leveraging the automated tools available to you to simplify the task, but it also means being able to utilize the non-automated tools to manually resolve an issue when nothing else will do the job.
That's why, in this age of centralized infrastructure management consoles that make configuring network devices as easy as connecting them to the network and powering them up—who spends 80% of their time in an IDF—can appreciate tools that require you to know how to actually connect to a device and configure it manually when automation won't work. One of the most useful of these tools is PuTTY.
