REALONE DESKTOP MANAGER

Gain control, cut costs, conserve bandwidth, and improve security.

Steaming Media has become a business necessity. But it doesn’t need to become a burden on IT resources and bandwidth usage.

More and more companies are experiencing a surge in steaming media consumption as employees access a growing range of critical information on the Web- from business news to internal corporate communications. That’s why we created RealOne Desktop Manager- the only solution available today for central management of streaming media players.

RealOne Desktop Manager (RDM) is a browser-based tool that gives you the power to control the deployment and maintenance of media players- reducing the complexity and costs associated with the support and management. It also accelerates your network’s ability to support streaming media, for a great ROI and reduced operating costs. In addition, RDM allows you to guarantee privacy and security by ensuring that all aspects of steaming media consumption stay behind the firewall.

Manage Media Players across the organisation from one central location.

• No more running from the desktop to desktop. Update media player components and configurations centrally from within your network.
• Customise media players throughout the organisation. Build your own media player, lock down preferences, configure bandwidth and proxy settings, and select the media browser’s homepage.
• Reduce support costs with consistent configurations. Ensure that all media players have the correct set of plug-ins- to support internally created content and host help pages to leverage your own support infrastructure.
• Focus streaming media usage on professional activity. RDM works in conjunction with RealOne Enterprise Desktop (RED) players, a version of our RealOne Player created specifically for professional environments.

Boost productivity with a media player optimised for professional use.

Stripped of distracting entertainment features that can hog your bandwidth. RealOne Enterprise Desktop player excludes non-professional features such as radio tuner, jukebox, and channels. At the same time, it adds productivity-enhancing features for the workplace including TurboPlay, smarter networking with WPAD/Proxy Auto Configuration Support, and homepage URL customisation. RED also offers controlled version and plug-in updating, never calling outside privacy and security, and giving you total control over the client updating process.
