If you are a system administrator, there is a good chance that you have hundreds of servers to maintain. It can be quite hard to remember the hostnames of each individual one. On Windows, there are Putty and SecureCRT. Both applications solve this problem really well, as you can save the individual ssh sessions. SecureCRT even allows you to automate the login process for each session.

If you happen to be running GNU/Linux on your workstation, SSHMenu can help out. SSHMenu is a GNOME panel applet that keeps all your regular SSH connections within a single mouse click.

This solution is not as good as SecureCRT for example, but it is free and pretty easy to use.
