VNC Enterprise Edition
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the "VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows Vista desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home. For ultimate simplicity, there is even a Java viewer, so that any desktop can be controlled remotely from within a browser without having to install software.
VNC is in widespread active use by many millions throughout industry, academia and privately. There are several versions to choose from, including a free version and some substantially enhanced commercial versions.
Integrated Session Security
Integrated Session Security provides protection from connection snooping, man-in-the-middle attacks and packet-tampering attacks, to name but a few.
- Server Authentication uses 2048-bit RSA keys to verify identity.
- Viewer Authentication supports both usernames and passwords of up to 256 characters each.
- Secure Communication with 128-bit AES—the experts' choice for high performance encryption.
Platform-Native Authentication
Platform-Native Authentication removes the need for separate VNC and system passwords. Users can access their desktops using the same credentials with which they log on to the system. For Windows this is authentication via NT-Domain or Active Directory, and for Unix is via NIS/NIS+.
One-Port HTTP & VNC
One-Port HTTP & VNC allows VNC Server to serve VNC Viewer for Java and VNC sessions through a single TCP port, simplifying NAT and firewall configuration.
HTTP Proxy Support
HTTP Proxy Support allows you to configure VNC Viewer to connect through various web proxies and filters, making it as simple to use as a web browser.
Desktop Scaling
Desktop Scaling to a particular size, by a particular ratio, or dynamically to whatever size you choose.
Cross-Platform Interoperability
Cross-Platform Interoperability with the other members of the VNC Enterprise family.
File Transfer
File Transfer allows you to copy files between your server and viewer computers over the VNC connection—no need for additional configuration.
Integrated Address Book
An Integrated Address Book makes it simple to store shortcuts to VNC Servers conveniently and securely.
Chat
Chat allows text-based communication between server and viewer to simplify collaboration or remote support.
Deployment Tool
The Deployment tool for Windows helps to automate the deployment and configuration of VNC software throughout your enterprise.
