Goverlan Remote Control is a software sub-product of the Goverlan Systems Management Software, created and distributed by PJ Technologies, Inc.

History[edit]

Key Technologies & Protocol Supported[edit]
Goverlan Remote Control exposes remote access services to IP devices via the following protocols:
- GRC Protocol – This protocol is proprietary to PJ Technologies and is used to access the Windows desktop of an attended or unattended remote PC. Unlike the MS RDP protocol, both the Goverlan user and the remote PC’s user share the same screen, keyboard and mouse controls. Additionally, this protocol allow the access of RDP user session within a Citrix or Terminal Services server (Remote Shadowing).
- MS Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) – This protocol allows the Goverlan user to open an RDP session on a Terminal Services server.
- Virtual Network Computing (VNC) – The Goverlan open source VNC client allows Goverlan to remote control any IP device that supports the VNC Server, e.g., Mac OS X, Linux.
- Intel vPro KVM – The Intel vPro AMT KVM technology allows the remote control of an Intel vPro ready system regardless of its power state. Using this technology, Goverlan users can view the screen and control the keyboard and mouse of remote systems even if the Operating System (OS) hasn’t been loaded yet. This allows the Goverlan user to perform power on actions, restart a PC to BIOS, or restart a PC to a mounted OS ISO image to perform an OS installation or upgrade.
Security[edit]
Goverlan Remote Control Software provides the following security features: [10]
- AES 256bit RSA Encryption (Windows Vista and later) or RC 128bit RSA Encryption (Windows XP and earlier) of all communications.
- Microsoft Security Support Provider Interface technology (SSPI) is used to securely authenticate the identity of the person who initiated the connection. SSPI is also used to impersonate the identity of this person on the client machine. Using the identity and privileges of the person who initiated the remote control session, the remote control session is either authorized or rejected.
- The ability to configure connection approval behavior on the remote systems or disabling remote access.
- Audit executed remote control sessions at the machine level or centrally.
