ResorsIT Uses MeshCentral for Remote Desktop

MeshCentral is a self-hosted, open-source remote management server that provides full remote desktop, terminal, and file management through any web browser. No client software is needed on the operator’s machine — just a browser.

Web-Based Remote Access

  • Remote desktop — Full graphical remote desktop sessions from any browser, on the local network or over the internet.
  • Remote terminal — Command-line access to managed systems without needing SSH or RDP clients.
  • File management — Browse, upload, download, and transfer files between your machine and remote devices directly from the web interface.
  • Clipboard sync — Seamless clipboard sharing between local and remote sessions.

Device Management

  • Device grouping — Organize managed devices into logical groups for easier administration.
  • Lightweight agents — Install small agents on target devices. Agents appear in the management console within seconds of installation.
  • Device inventory — Track and monitor managed systems from a central dashboard.
  • Screenshots and monitoring — Capture device screenshots and monitor system status.

Multi-Platform Support

  • Windows, macOS, and Linux agents for managed devices.
  • Android agent support for mobile device management.
  • Browser-based operator console — Manage everything from any modern browser on any platform.

Security & Access Control

  • User and group permissions — Control who can access which devices and what actions they can perform.
  • Multi-factor authentication — Supports multiple 2FA methods including one-time codes, FIDO2, YubiKey OTP, email verification, and Duo.
  • Self-hosted — Your remote access infrastructure stays under your control. No third-party relay services required.

Advanced Capabilities

  • Intel AMT integration — Hardware-level remote management for Intel vPro devices, including power control when the OS is unresponsive.
  • Wake-on-LAN — Remotely power on devices over the network.
  • Port mapping — MeshCentral Router provides TCP port mapping for accessing services on remote networks.
  • Command automation — Run commands across multiple devices.
  • Plugin support — Extend functionality with custom plugins.
  • Multi-server deployment — Scale across multiple servers for larger environments.

Using MeshCentral within the ResorsIT framework brings the same self-hosted benefits as the rest of the platform: your data stays under your control, deployment can be on-premise or private cloud, and the solution integrates with your existing ResorsIT infrastructure.
