Proxy Networks Introduces Proxy Remote Control 5.10

New Release Features Proxy Gateway Server as a Virtual Router for Finding and Connecting to Remote PCs and Servers in the Network

July 10, 2006 | Cambridge, MA — Proxy Networks, a leading provider of reliable, low cost remote control and screen recording products for remote support, training, network management, compliance and collaboration, announced today the general availability of Proxy Remote Control 5.10 and Proxy Gateway Server 5.10. This latest software release includes several new features and enhancements to the reliable, easy-to-use remote control products that are installed on several million PCs and servers around the world.

Proxy Gateway Server acts as a virtual router enabling customers to tie large numbers of PCs and servers into a single, centrally-managed remote access network. Proxy Gateway Server maintains persistent connections with each of these hosts, allowing help desk professionals and network administrators to access and take over any machine instantly. The result is that remote support, network management and collaboration can be setup and executed more quickly and efficiently throughout the enterprise.

“What Proxy Gateway Server allows us to do - take over a machine on a different domain in a different location within seconds, and know that we’re taking over the right PC with the right user logged on - makes our life so much easier,” said Robert Platus, Managing Director of Quality Network Solutions, an outsourced technical support provider based in London, England.

Proxy Gateway Server 5.10 now features screen recording and playback capabilities that Proxy customers can use to create content for remote training or compliance purposes. The Gateway Server uses advanced compression algorithms that results in ultra compact recording files. As a result, customers can keep screen recording turned on continuously without worrying about storage costs.

Proxy Remote Control 5.10 now features multi-monitor support, which allows users to capture the entire virtual Windows desktop distributed across multiple displays on remote machines. Multi-monitor support is particularly useful for collaboration and training in industries where large displays are commonplace, such as oil & gas, pharmaceuticals and financial services.

“Proxy Remote Control 5.10 is our first release since the acquisition of the Proxy Remote Control products from Funk Software earlier this year. We are committed to developing, delivering and supporting new features on top of proven, low cost infrastructure that millions of users rely upon for remote control and remote access everyday,” said Proxy Networks CEO Andy Kim.

For over a decade, Proxy Remote Control has been the chosen infrastructure for remote control and remote access by thousands of enterprises and SMBs around the world because of it reliability, ease of use, high performance and low cost:

  • Reliable: Persistent Proxy client software ensures that the right infrastructure is in place for the most reliable and secure connections for remote control, especially if you need access to unattended machines
  • Real-Time: Pixel-perfect screen capture and low-latency response to keyboard and mouse inputs makes you feel like you are sitting in front of the remote machine
  • Low Cost: Less than half the cost of PCAnywhere or GoToMyPC
