Remote access is done into virtual workstations that have the following installed: The installed images are run using the VMWare player program which is available as a free download from the VMWare site.Images are created using the default image values of: VMWare Workstation - used to create the virtual workstation images used for remote access.Remote access consists of going to the web site, logging in, downloading and running a temporary program for access. The service requires installing a small monitoring program on the workstation that will be access. This service was selected because the traffic goes through their servers maintaining a constant connection.

VPN encryption and Internet connection speeds cannot provide the data pipeline necessary to access the program remotely.VPN technology adds additional overhead with encryption and decryption during sending and receiving.access is usually done over an Internet connection running at speeds from 1.5 mb to 10 mb.The technical requirements for the program state a 100 mb or faster LAN/WAN connection is required in order to keep the program from timing out. The server functions as a file-server for the application. Retman is a client-based program meaning that all processing is done on the workstation. Retman can be installed on a network with multiple installed workstations.Retman is not compatible with Citrix or NT Terminal.Retention Manager (Retman) has limitations with these tools: VPN, Citrix and NT terminal are the most common remote access tools used for remote access. In the corporate world, remote access is part of today's technology. Remote access of Retention Manager using and VMWare Retman remote access using and VMWare 21.9.
