Remote Control

Desktop Sharing enables administrators to connect and control remote desktops in LAN and WAN. It is a web-based tool enabling access from anywhere in the LAN without requiring any native client. Systems in WAN can be accessed through VPN or internet. It allows almost all operations to be performed on the remote desktop.

Web-based remote control

Desktop Central provides a web-based access to the remote computers. This means that a remote connection can be established from anywhere and it does not require any additional client software to be installed other than the Desktop Central agent. It also avoids dependencies with other technologies like Java or ActiveX and leverages them only for specific tasks, while allowing you to control computers even through tablets.
