Remote Desktop Control enables users to operate a computer located elsewhere using only a keyboard and mouse. DeskGate provides this capability through a self-hosted, on-premise architecture designed for technical reliability and full infrastructure ownership.
Remote Desktop Control refers to the ability to interact with a computer that is physically located in another place by transmitting keyboard input and mouse actions over a network. The remote system responds to these inputs in real time and displays its screen back to the user.
From the user’s perspective, the experience is equivalent to working directly on the remote machine. Applications, files, operating system tools, and administrative functions remain unchanged.
A remote desktop session involves two endpoints: the host computer and the client computer. The host is the system being controlled, while the client initiates the connection.
Keyboard and mouse events are captured on the client, transmitted through the network, and executed on the host system. The host then sends graphical output back to the client.
Remote Desktop Control operates over local networks or the internet. Each host system is identified by a network address and protected through authentication mechanisms.
DeskGate runs entirely within company-owned infrastructure, ensuring that authentication data, session traffic, and access logs remain under organizational control.
Remote Desktop Control is enabled through specialized software installed on both host and client machines. This software manages session initiation, encryption, screen rendering, and input synchronization.
DeskGate allows organizations to deploy their own private remote access network without relying on third-party cloud-based services.
Remote Desktop Control software is commonly available for Windows and macOS environments. Depending on configuration, cross-platform access may be enabled or restricted.
This flexibility allows IT teams to define access rules based on security policies and operational requirements.
Remote Desktop Control is widely used for system administration, technical support, and operational continuity. Employees can access office computers remotely while maintaining existing workflows.
Remote desktop sessions provide full interaction with the host file system. Users can manage files, execute applications, and perform system-level operations remotely.
Remote Desktop Control must be used responsibly. Access is intended only for company-owned devices, and users must be informed about monitoring activities.
Reliable Remote Desktop Control depends on network stability, system performance, and efficient data transmission. DeskGate is engineered for consistent performance across local and wide-area networks.
DeskGate delivers a technical, self-hosted approach to Remote Desktop Control for organizations that require security, transparency, and full ownership of their infrastructure.
