As a result, Remote Desktop Manager users are automatically setup to launch LAN and overthe-internet remote sessions, without having to download a separate remote desktop client on multiple machines.

“IT professionals know that a flexible, easy-to-use and highly secure remote desktop access solution is essential for supporting end users, managing multiple remote servers, and reducing implementation time,” commented David Hervieux, Devolutions’ CEO and Founder. “Wayk Now is designed to meet this need, while at the same time

ensuring that organizations get sustainable affordability and long-term investment protection.”

Added Mr. Hervieux: “Many of the improvements in Wayk Now 2.0 were suggested by our incredible community of IT pros, including many who volunteered to participate in our beta testing rounds. Our development team is eager to continue evolving Wayk Now, and we will definitely be making more exciting product announcements in the months ahead!”

Wayk Now is offered in two editions: Free and Enterprise. Wayk Now Free is available at no cost, and can be used for any personal and commercial purposes. Wayk Now Enterprise is available for an affordable yearly subscription fee (user, site, country or global options are available), and delivers a more sophisticated enterprise-level feature set that includes concurrent sessions and remote execution.
