If you are more into open source, the Ubuntu list of VNC solutions has a nice starting list of VNC servers. Commercial solutions generally work well if you’re managing many servers and clients as an SME.
#VNC CONNECT VIA CLOUD SOFTWARE#
It is an excellent, well working and supported software package, intended for small business that do not want to spent too much time on getting something to work well. On the commercial side, there is RealVNC. The VNC server operates on the remote end, ensuring that a VNC client, used from a connecting workstation (almost always your own computer), can connect and that the desktop output, mouse and keyboard strokes are all relayed in an as good as fashion as possible. You will need both a VNC server as well as a VNC client to be able to use a remote desktop. SSH (Remote Secure Shell) can even be used from your mobile phone! Connecting with VNC to a Remote Linux Computer Then again, large corporations often disable and/or uninstall any graphical desktop from their servers, and remote management is done by using commands entered in a terminal, with SSH used to connect to the server. It is mostly suited for home use, and small office users may find it helpful too, for example by having a single desktop on a single machine shared remotely and used by 1-3 users.Įven for large corporations, remote server management (with one or two system administrators per VNC enabled server) is definitely an option. Another issue is that VNC does not scale well to many users. Various options are included with various VNC software, but configuring them is often left to the user, especially with open source based solutions. At times, even clicking an icon to start an application can cause a slight delay as the screen needs to refresh. Watching 4K video on a remote desktop whilst using an ADSL Internet connection is unlikely to give favorable results. One of the main ones is that the display updates can be slow. There are some limitations when using VNC to manage and/or use remote desktops.
