Developer Remotly is showcasing several innovations in its remote desktop software, including an advanced multi-join feature to allow multiple users to connect to and control remote computers simultaneously, without experiencing conflicts over mouse or keyboard access.
The feature is designed to support a range of use cases for commercial users, says Remotly, citing the example of multiple developers or administrators taking control of the same machine to debug a problem in real time. Another example could be participants in interactive technical workshops or hands-on training sessions who can interact concurrently with the desktop environment during a session, making remote learning more immersive and collaborative.
Also on show is a new application isolation feature, to allow remote users to connect to a single application, while the physical host machine remains available for use by another user. There’s also a pay-as-you-go billing model that allows businesses to pay only for the actual usage of their remote desktop licences.
