NetOp Remote Control is the most comprehensive, effective and security-conscious way to maintain your IT operations. Designed to fit into all environments including 64-bit environments, NetOp Remote Control lets you access users running virtually any operating system, including Windows, all Windows Server releases, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. Location isn't terribly important either. The NetOp Remote Control software offers unrivalled connectivity, supporting all standard communication protocols. Finally, NetOp Remote Control is the ideal way to manage and administrate your servers. NetOp Remote Control contains a sweeping range of remote management tools, all available on one easy-to-use console.

The latest new version 11 includes the following important updates:

• A new "Tunnel" function that creates a secure connection between Guest and Host modules and allows application ports to be redirected from the Host to the Guest through the Tunnel. That way the Guest can run local applications while interacting with the remote Host machine without having to remote control the Host machine. The Tunnel is ideally suited for, but not limited to, environments where a traditional desktop is either not used or available.
• Guest and Host modules are now supported on OpenSUSE 11.4 and 12.1, including both 32 and 64-bit editions
• The Guest module can now have multiple support sessions running simultaneously when connected via Netop WebConnect (one to many and many to many).
• When using the Netop Security Server with Windows authentication, the Guest module is now able to connect to Host modules running on Linux and Mac operatingsystems.
• The Netop Security Server has been extended to offer authentication against RADIUS environments.
• Netop Remote Control is from now on fully compatible with RDP (Remote Desktop) environments. Netop can now safely be installed on the console using an RDP session. No more black screens occur.
• A new and improved ActiveX Guest is developed to embed Netop Guest functionality into your web browser and web sites

None of this, of course, matters unless you can operate securely. With NetOp Remote Control you're protected end-to-end by the most robust set of security measures available in any remote control software tool. It's little wonder, then, that organizations that recognize their reliance on IT, recognize the benefits of NetOp Remote Control.

Security Any remote access request must fulfill numerous criteria, including authentication and authorization against a local or, better still, centralized authentication system such as Windows Domain, a Directory Service or a RSA SecurID server. The authorization roles also dictate what actions a Guest is permitted to perform remotely. It's possible to centralize all authentication and authorization with the NetOp Security Server. NetOp Remote Control protects the traffic between the modules against eavesdropping by using 256-bit AES encryption. Netop Remote Control is compliant with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and ISO 27001 regulations.

Remote management With the Remote Management facility, the Host user can keep working while the computer is being serviced. The Guest can even collect a detailed hardware and software inventory. Remote management uses less bandwidth since only management data, rather than screen data, is transmitted.

Cross-platform support Since most large networks are a patchwork of PCs and platforms, NetOp modules can connect across the majority of standard communication protocols and across different operating systems. Use the Guest and Host from Windows Server 2003, XP and 2000 Terminal Services including Citrix, NT 4.0, ME, 9x and CE as well as from Linux and Solaris. In addition the Guest program also runs under ActiveX (e.g. in Internet Explorer). The Host can also be launched under Mac OS X, OS/2 and DOS.

Multi Guest session ith NetOp Remote Control, multiple Guests can view the same remote desktop, and can even switch keyboard and mouse with each other during a session. Guests using Windows can also monitor whether fellow Guests are connected, what session types are active and who has the keyboard and mouse controls.
