About Apache Guacamole
Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser. Because the Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, the use of your computers is not tied to any one device or location. As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your machines. Desktops accessed through Guacamole need not physically exist. With both Guacamole and a desktop operating system hosted in the cloud, you can combine the convenience of Guacamole with the resilience and flexibility of cloud computing. Apache Guacamole is and will always be free and open source software. It is licensed under the Apache License, and is actively maintained by a community of developers that use Guacamole to access their own development environments.
