Remote desktop software has grown in maturity and sophistication in past years, with firms like Citrix paving the way. Now free remote desktop manager applications are available as well as established commercial remote desktop tools such as GoToMyPC.
Remote desktop software gives the IT manager remote PC control over the web. Remote desktop support software can offer fast and secure remote computer access, allowing support agents to connect to a remote PC quickly and easily over the web.
With PC remote software, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse, as well as installing and managing applications and remote PC resources such as local printers.
Some remote access software products can even be used to control various PC applications with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or infrared remote control.
Among the remote desktop software programs available are Anyplace Control, Radmin, LogMeIn, RealVNC and The NetSupport product portfolio.
