New iPad App Allows USers to Bring Their Whole PC Anywhere
Apple's iPad is undeniably popular but that isn't suggest that it doesn't suffer challenges as a business tool; particularly its inability to run Windows applications.
Array's new "DesktopDirect" iPad app gives business users remote access to the desktop of their Windows-based work computers, literally taking the office with them wherever they may be.
Because the application only transmits video, keyboard, and mouse information, Windows compatibility problems and security risks are eliminated completely. Applications and data stay on the office computer, extending existing security and compliance standards to the remote user's location.
The DesktopDirect iPad application also supports access for multiple desktops, boosting productivity for even those users managing more than one corporate computer. The application saves time by enabling multi-tasking among corporate computer desktops, and also enables users to access computers when they're turned off – saving energy costs while providing 24/7 access.
The DesktopDirect iPad application is currently available on the Apple iTunes Store.
