Remote Access & Remote Management Portfolio

Usecase:

Did you know that ctrlX OS enables remote access and remote management for your machines? Actually it is  available on ctrlX CORE devices such as the CORE X3, CORE X5, and CORE X7. This functionality can be achieved using legacy tools or applications available in the ctrlX WORLD. However, what distinguishes remote access from remote management? continue to read! The image below illustrates the system layout applicable to both scenarios.
Remote Access: the ability to access and control a computer or other electronic device from a remote location. This capability enables quick troubleshooting, adjustments, and updates, ultimately reducing downtime and increasing productivity. 
Remote Management: the possibility controlling and maintaining devices from a distance, including tasks like troubleshooting, updates, and asset tracking, often without user interaction. The ctrlX Device Portal is our legacy solution for Remote Management and Remote Access (coming soon).
