Turn one Windows server into a remote workspace.

Metadesk publishes Windows applications to browsers and desktops, then secures the front door, supports the people using it, and reports on what the server is actually doing. Five products that install on the same host and administer from one place.

ONE PLATFORM. FIVE PRODUCTS

All five install on the same Windows machine and administer from one place.
You can start with the flagship alone and add layers as the estate grows.

Windows host

One machine. One admin console. Five products layered on top of it.

01

Remote Access

VERSION 19 • FLAGSHIP

Publishes individual applications to
browsers and generated clients, and
scales to a farm.

02

Advanced Security

HARDENING LAYER

Cuts the attack surface to the countries, hours, devices and accounts you expect.

03

Remote Support

VERSION 3

Screen sharing and remote control for a help desk, attended or unattended.

04

Server Monitoring

REPORTING ENGINE

Real-time server and website state, turned into reports for non- administrators.

05

Remote Work

OFFICE WORKSTATIONS

Publishes the desktop PCs people already have, without moving workloads to a server.

01

Remote Access

VERSION 3 FLAGSHIP

The flagship. It makes a single Windows machine serve applications to many users at once — published as individual apps rather than whole desktops, reachable from a browser or a generated client, and scalable across a farm when one server stops being enough. Positioned as an alternative to heavier RDS and Citrix deployments.

License

Publishing and assignment
  • Publish single applications or a full desktop
  • Assign per user or per group
  • RemoteApp on the client machine
  • Remote taskbar and floating panel
  • File transfer
  • Secured folder sharing
Browser access
  • Built-in web server, no IIS required
  • Web Applications Portal
  • Web Portal with single sign-on (beta)
  • RemoteApp browser plugin
  • IIS and Apache integration
  • Windows Integrated Authentication on AD
HTML5 client
  • Works in the browser, nothing to install
  • Touch gestures on tablets and phones
  • Shared clipboard
  • File transfer in session
  • Documented memory behavior

Published apps, not whole desktops — that is the difference an RDS estate feels first.

Getting it to people, and keeping it shut

How the session reaches the user, how printing survives the trip, and
what stands between the web front door and the internet.

Connection clients

  • Publish single applications or a full desktop
  • Assign per user or per group
  • RemoteApp on the client machine
  • Remote taskbar and floating panel
  • File transfer
  • Secured folder sharing

Printing

  • Publish single applications or a full desktop
  • Assign per user or per group
  • RemoteApp on the client machine
  • Remote taskbar and floating panel
  • File transfer
  • Secured folder sharing

Web security

  • Publish single applications or a full desktop
  • Assign per user or per group
  • RemoteApp on the client machine
  • Remote taskbar and floating panel
  • File transfer
  • Secured folder sharing
CERTIFICATES INCLUDED

The certificate manager carries no extra cost, and third-party certificates are supported — so TLS on the web portal is a configuration step, not a line item.

When one server stops being enough

Remote Access is designed to be grown into rather than
replaced. The same console that runs one host runs the
farm, and the whole setup is scriptable for golden images
and repeat builds.

Scaling to a farm

  • Reverse proxy in front of the farm
  • Load balancing across servers
  • Server assignation rules
  • Live session monitoring
  • Configuration sync between nodes
  • Enable or disable a gateway on demand
  • Logon tickets for credential-free handoff

Automation and deployment

  • Documented command list for scripted setup
  • Farm Manager API
  • Sysprep cloning for golden images
  • Online and offline license activationg
  • License rehosting and hardware ID handling
  • Volume licensing program
  • Published long-term-support policy
An alternative to heavier RDS and Citrix deployments

Same published-application outcome, on infrastructure you can size against real concurrency rather than a licensing tier — which is where Server Monitoring earns its place in the suite.

02

Advanced Security

HARDENING LAYER

Once a Windows server is reachable from the internet, it gets scanned within hours. Advanced Security sits in front of it and cuts the attack surface down to the countries, hours, devices, and accounts you actually expect traffic from.
container 1 metadesk,windows server publishing and security suite

Blocking and filtering

  • Firewall
  • Geographic protection by country
  • Bruteforce protection
  • Hacker IP protection, known-bad addresses
  • Allow lists for users and programs

Session control

  • Working hours restriction
  • Secure sessions, locked-down environment
  • Trusted devices, bind access to hardware
  • Permissions on folders and files
  • Ransomware protection

Visibility

  • Dashboard
  • Event log
  • Reports
  • Alerts
  • Command list for scripted policy
SCANNED WITHIN HOURS

The default posture of an internet-facing Windows host is wide open. This layer is the difference between an exposed RDP port and a server that only answers to the traffic you asked for.

03

Remote Support

VERSION 3 - ATTENDED AND NOT

Screen sharing and remote control for a help desk. A user can share a screen with no install at all, or a technician can reach a machine that nobody is sitting in front of. It runs on your own infrastructure if you need it to.

What it watches

  • Server state in real time
  • Website availability
  • Response codes and response time
  • Performance counters
  • Network usage

Usage reporting

  • Concurrent sessions over time
  • User presence and attendance
  • Application usage per server
  • Application usage per user
  • Application usage per user

Reports and plumbing

  • Custom logo, colors, and chart type
  • Filters and per-section visibility
  • Direct database access
  • External database support
  • Alerts management
SELF-HOSTED WHERE IT MATTERS

For regulated estates, the on-premises deployment option is usually the deciding feature — support sessions never leave infrastructure you control.

Getting on the machine

  • Lite screen sharing, nothing to install
  • Full remote control
  • Unattended access to registered machines
  • Wake-on-LAN
  • Capture through UAC prompts
  • iOS app for technicians

Server Monitoring

REPORTING ENGINE

Watches servers and websites in real time, then turns the history into reports you can hand to someone who does not administer the box. Useful for proving uptime, sizing licenses against real concurrency, and seeing which application is actually being used.

Before you buy

Three things worth knowing before a purchase order goes anywhere.

Licensing

Required license – Every concurrent remote desktop user or admin. Add official support to a above charges. Support is available separately.
  • Keep license count + RDS / device support + FDO / hardware security.

Access

It is always good to have a longer term support policy, so the environment can run smoothly. Get latest ever OS & Active Directory update so you are safe.
  • More upgradeable, secured and enjoyable rather than the latest and more.

What RevInfotech adds

Giving free training, webinars & demos, migration from an existing RDS/C to the cloud, and an upgradeable with the competency you already has.
  • Saving cost & time with our skills based proposal, expected measure and consultancy.

No migration. No re-platforming. The workstation stays where it is.

This is the answer when no workload can move to a server — or when old CAD apps, legacy line-of-business stuff, or sensitive data just can’t live in a datacenter. Keep working the way you do, without changing the architecture.
