Virtual Network Computing: A Case Study

Virtual Network Computing abbreviated as V.N.C. is a stupendous technology adverted for remote desktop sharing. It is an intelligible protocol, based on a graphic primitive. This efficacious application is mainly contemplated for triggering and con- trolling remote desktop with in a network. This protocol is intrinsically used for prospecting Graphical User Interface desktops on remote machines within a LAN or over a WAN and providing access to home computing environments. Usually applications on a network can be accessed and executed by users as per the permissions ascribed by the administrator but impotent to access the desktop. The "VNC" is one such application that helps in catering the imperative facilities for inducing specific applications on a remote machine. The ingenuousness and candor makes this protocol competent, robust and puissant. The VNC protocol is utterly independent of operating system, windowing system, and applications dissonant from other remote display protocols such as the Windows System and Citrix's ICA. The VNC server is used for sharing and dispensing its screen whereas the VNC client ganders and collaborates with the server.
