Danware Launches Enhanced Version of NetOp® Remote Control

NetOp® Remote Control 9.1 supports the remote control of Windows Vista for all 32 bit versions.

Birkerød, April 24, 2008 - One of the leading suppliers of software solutions for the desktop management and education markets, Danware, has enhanced its core product NetOp® Remote Control with new features to make professional remote control in enterprises more flexible, more secure and faster. With the new release 9.1, Microsoft Vista is supported for all 32 bit versions.

An enhanced remote Smartcard login functionality offers one of the strongest authentication and authorisation procedures available in security critical environments such as finance and insurance industries. The release also introduces a new and improved way to install and distribute the software as well as improved speed when remote controlling Linux systems.

Improved software installation and distribution

NetOp® Remote Control now includes a packaging and deploying tool, NetOp® Pack'n Deploy. It saves time and creates flexibility in the deployment phase by preparing and packing the msi and mst files used to deploy Guests and Hosts.

"With NetOp® Remote Control you can basically remote control any system no matter what platform you are on. With the new version 9.1 we offer more flexibility, more security and easier and faster remote control functionality. For customers this translates into a more efficient use of IT resources and a higher ROI," says CEO Kurt Groth Bager, Danware.

The new release supports Microsoft Vista for both Guest and Host modules as well as the optional components Security Server, Name Server and the Gateway.

The remote Smartcard login enhances the existing Smartcard authentication on the NetOp® Host. Using a local Smartcard reader an administrator can log directly into remote enterprise and application systems using a Smartcard for authentication and authorisation making service and support easier in high security environments.

Improved flexibility for Linux systems

NetOp® Remote Control now includes a Windows Guest implementation of the X-Window Player. This greatly improves the screen transfer rates between a Linux Host and a Windows Guest so the remote control process runs smoothly. All NetOp® Control Remote customers with NetOp® Upgrade Insurance will receive the latest version of 9.1 enabling them to upgrade. Customers without NetOp® Upgrade Insurance who are considering upgrading should contact their local NetOp® office.
