Royal TSi provides easy and secure access to your remote systems (RDP, VNC, SSH, etc.) by allowing you to open your Royal TS documents created with Royal TSX (for macOS) or Royal TS (for Windows). Those documents can be opened directly from any installed cloud provider like iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive. You can even send documents via email and open them with Royal TSi. Connecting to the remote machines with RDP, VNC, SSH or Telnet is possible with specialized 3rd party apps. With Royal Server you don't need to connect to the remote desktop anymore. You can manage Windows Events, Windows Services, Windows Processes, Terminal Services, Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines and start PowerShell scripts on the remote machine directly from your iPad or iPhone. E.g. if you find an error in the Event Log, then you could restart a service, kill a process, reset a Terminal Services connection or stop and start Hyper-V virtual machines. Using PowerShell scripts, there's no limit to what you can do! Some supported connection types can be tweaked and optimized for your mobile device. E.g. Remote desktop connections can be configured to always use a lower color depth or screen resolution to save bandwidth.
