storage (KVMS) application. Remote Console software is a piece of layered software
that enables a remote client to view the graphical console of the server as if it were
connected directly to the video, mouse, and keyboard of the server. Remote Console
software uses the Java Web Start application and contains operating system-specific
and architecture-specific code on the managing client, for example, your laptop
system.
