Enabling MSPs to Achieve Efficient and Cost-Effective Remote IT Maintenance
Contact SalesBackground
In traditional IT device management and support, many organizations rely on sending technicians on-site to troubleshoot issues due to environmental or security constraints on the equipment. However, this approach presents challenges in terms of cost, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. GL.iNet’s Remote KVM over Internet solution provides reliable remote visualization and control capabilities for closed systems. With this solution, enterprises can significantly enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and implement a smarter, more efficient IT maintenance workflow.
Challenges
A U.S.-based IT remote management and support company serves global clients across various industries. Their scope of work includes servers, industrial control systems (ICS), etc.
Currently, the company urgently needs a low-cost, stable, and efficient remote maintenance solution. Several challenges arise within the existing operational model:
1. Limited Device Maintenance SolutionsSpecialized devices like industrial PCs and embedded systems often lack support for remote management software, making traditional solutions unworkable.
2. High Data Security Requirements:Clients in sectors like finance and healthcare prohibit the installation of remote control software to avoid data leaks and network security risks.
3. Slow Response and Limited Operational Efficiency:Traditional models limit technicians to one customer site at a time, reducing efficiency and impacting customer experience.
4. Network Restrictions on Devices:Certain devices cannot connect to networks due to security or compliance issues, necessitating onsite technicians to troubleshoot and repair them.

Solution
Breaking Through Traditional Maintenance Bottlenecks to Build an Efficient Remote Maintenance System
To address these challenges, GL.iNet has introduced an innovative hardware-based Remote KVM over Internet maintenance solution. This solution enables businesses to establish a high-efficiency, stable, and visual maintenance system that reduces costs, increases operational efficiency, and boosts customer satisfaction.
Unlike traditional remote control methods, GL.iNet’s Remote KVM solution, Comet (GL-RM1) uses a hardware-level direct connection, enabling remote management and maintenance in complex scenarios, such as devices that cannot connect to the internet, cannot install software, or involve embedded systems. Even in cases of device crashes or network disconnections, remote access and repair are still possible.
By deploying Comet (GL-RM1) on critical IT equipment, businesses can provide reliable, software-independent, and unrestricted IT maintenance services for closed systems.
1. Hardware-Level Remote Access, Supporting All Operating Systems
- No need to install software on client devices, completely bypassing system compatibility limitations.
- By directly connecting via HDMI/USB eliminates the need for complex network configuration, enabling remote maintenance in any environment.
- With the power expansion accessory and ATX board, the solution supports remote physical power-on, reboot, even for offline or powered-down devices.

2. High-Definition Visual Remote Control for an In-Person Experience
- Supports 4K HD video streaming at 30 FPS, offering smooth and low-latency (30ms-60ms) for seamless visual performance.
- Remote audio output enables IT engineers to diagnose and repair devices more effectively.

3. Multi-Site Remote Maintenance, Greatly Enhancing Operational Efficiency
- One technician can remotely manage and maintain multiple devices, increasing maintenance efficiency.
- Supports remote system recovery and firmware updates, significantly reducing fault resolution times.
