Episode description

The Deep Dive explores Apache Guacamole, a clientless remote desktop gateway that allows users to access their desktops from any device with a web browser, eliminating the need for special software installations. Sponsored by Safeserver, the discussion highlights Guacamole’s accessibility and versatility, supporting various protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH for connecting to different systems, including Windows, Linux, and even mainframes. Its cloud compatibility enables users to securely access their data from anywhere, making it a valuable tool for remote work.
