Remote Access

Your Own Bank of Testing Machines, Instantly Accessible Remotely

There's really nothing like it. Our Remote Access Service lets you log into any of our machines remotely using a simple program called VNC. We have a growing library of operating systems and configurations. Simply select the operating system you want and click connect. We will allocate a dedicated machine from our server farm for your immediate use. We have Macintoshes, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP machines, and Linux machines, all in a variety of configurations.

For example, if you're developing on a Windows XP machine and you need access to a Macintosh machine to test something, then you could use Remote Access to remotely login to one of our Macs from your Windows computer. Using our Mac you can then surf to your website and test your designs as if you were sitting in front of a Macintosh. In another example, if you're a Macintosh user, and need a Windows 98 machine running Explorer 4.0, you could use Remote Access to login to one of our Windows 98 machines. In short, Remote Access gives you all the operating systems and browsers you don't have sitting at your desk. No more borrowing a friend's computer, or renting time at the local copy shop or Internet cafe.

You may also start, terminate and restart an unlimited number of remote access sessions during your subscription period. Each session is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes. Premium subscribers? session limits are twice as long. These time limits are intended to prevent any user from logging into one of our machines and holding it indefinitely, either intentionally or accidentally.

The Remote Access Service is great for testing mouseovers, Javascript, Flash, forms, scripts, security, dynamic layouts, cascading style sheets and other platform dependent functionality.
