Looking for a convenient tool to access workplace servers from home? Remote App is a simple, unique industry-first solution backed by Black Box’s Emerald®, a market-leading complete control system. With versions for Windows® 10/11 and macOS®, remote users can turn their laptop into an Emerald KVM receiver and securely access servers located miles away. Remote App is a software-only component for complete system control. The app runs on Windows or Mac® to deliver all of the features of an Emerald IP KVM connection directly to the laptop. Users can interact with up to nine systems simultaneously as if they were connected directly to each source.
Establishing VPN tunnels combined with user management and authentication through the Emerald system manager allows users reliable and secure access.
The Remote App was designed for applications where the use of traditional KVM hardware receivers are not desired for reasons of space and convenience, such as home offices or when traveling.
In a typical use case, software engineers may need to test different operating systems to verify code that is running. With Remote App for Mac, users can optimize an HD connection and complete their testing tasks remotely.
In a broadcasting use case (post-production, editing, etc.), users can complete post-production work on their industry-standard Mac laptops from the comfort of their homes – or remotely.
Both use cases save time and money otherwise spent on traveling to an office. To support diverse systems, both Windows and Mac Remote App options are available.
