CrossTec Corporation New NetOp Remote Control v7.5 now Includes Support for Controlling Distant Linux and Solaris PCs and Servers Award-winning remote control solution lets users control, transfer files and chat with Linux and Solaris servers and workstations from Windows, Linux, IE Browsers and CE & Symbian handhelds Boca Raton, Fl, Oct 1, 2002 CrossTec Corporation (www.CrossTecCorp.com) has announced the release of NetOp Remote Control v7.5 which includes support for controlling Linux and Solaris systems. In addition to providing support for the widest range of operating platforms, this new version of the world’s third largest remote control software solution, includes enhanced security, Windows inventory and asset management and an extensive list of valuable new features all targeted at ensuring fast, simple and secure remote control for global enterprises. In addition to supporting virtually every Windows platform, NetOp Remote Control v7.5 now allows a user to remote control Linux and Solaris servers and workstations, even while using hand-held devices such as a Pocket PC or a Nokia Communicator. This degree of flexibility is proving increasingly valuable in business environments, especially where mobility is a key competitive parameter. The new Linux and Solaris Host modules provide enhanced bitmap mode screen draws during remote control of Linux or Solaris console displays along with keyboard and mouse control. NetOp v7.5 can also exchange files with a Linux or Solaris computer by utilizing the NetOp file transfer feature. For on-line communications with the Linux or Solaris Host user, NetOp includes the ability to switch into a text chat mode where users can type and send a message. A NetOp Guest can call and control the Linux or Solaris computers by it’s IP address or DNS name via TCP or UDP. NetOp is also designed so that as the operation system boots up, the Host module can be loaded automatically. This will enable users to make changes and then re-boot their system and still be able to gain control. NetOp previously released a Guest version of Linux in November of 2001. The Linux Guest can control virtually any Windows PC as well as other Linux systems. “Most of our enterprise customers need to support a heterogeneous IT infrastructure built on both new and legacy systems, plus an increasing number of hand-held mobile devices,” says Kim Macallan, Product Manager for NetOp Remote Control. “They choose NetOp Remote Control because they know it will let them quickly and easily control systems our competitors simply don’t support.” “Remote control is now being deployed worldwide as a complementary component of management and help desk solutions.” Says Stephen Drake, Program Manager, Mobile Infrastructure Software at IDC. “Providing cross-platform support and security are essential for doing this effectively. NetOp Remote Control has proven itself repeatedly in both these areas.” Speed remains a defining characteristic for NetOp Remote Control, even in situations where bandwidth is limited such as in wireless and mobile environments. The application’s tight modular code, outstanding screen transfer algorithm and rapid screen updates has earned NetOp numerous independent performance awards. The new NetOp v7.5 consolidates NetOp’s unrivalled position when it comes to speed and stability. Independent product comparisons and performance tests document NetOp’s superior performance, security features and platform support. But Kim Macallan also points to another key factor driving NetOp’s continued growth in this competitive market. “Attracting and retaining the types of enterprises that make up our core business demands more than just superior technology. NetOp is also committed to maintaining our reputation for providing world-class service and support. Customers know they can rely on us to be there for them both right now by accessing, for example, our extensive support offerings, plus long-term as a reliable business partner.” NetOp’s customer list includes global heavyweights such as the world’s number one retailer, the nation’s largest security organization and the largest express and package carrier in the world.
