| Danware Launches NetOp Remote Control 9.0 Danish software specialist Danware launches its latest software product for IT remote control, NetOp Remote Control 9.0 offering new security and real time sight and sound communication features. The program allows remote control of one or more computers from another computer and is typically used for network management, system administration and technical support. With NetOp Remote Control 9.0, helpdesk personnel can have their identity verified by users – if remote control is required, – by using a smart card and a smart card reader. This is facilitated via a security server, which communicates with a Windows 2000/2003 Server with Microsoft CA installed. Helpdesk personnel and users can also communicate during support sessions via web-cam and a chat session, for real-time sight and sound. Security has been further enhanced in the new version of NetOp Remote Control. The powerful 256-bit AES encryption is now part of the Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X modules, and logged events can be stored locally and/or on the security server. To ensure maximum flexibility for remote control processes, NetOp Remote Control 9.0 enables users to define when helpdesk personnel may access their computer. It also allows one helpdesk specialist automatically take over remote control from another, if other specialist skills are required to solve the user's problem. Helpdesk personnel can also transfer screen images from the user's computer to their own at given intervals and perform remote control sessions with users when most relevant. NetOp Remote Control 9.0 supports all popular operating systems and communication protocols, now including: • Novell Desktop Linux 9.0 • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 AS, ES and WS • SuSE Linux 9.1, 9.2, 10.0 • Fedora Core IV • Debian Linux 10.3 • Sun Solaris 10.0 • Mac OS X 10.4 (on the host computer only). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
