1. Introduction

"ZF Net Remote Clientless – Virtual Access" is a technology that allows released virtual ZF desktops or virtual ZF applications to be used securely online without having to install software. To use this technology every authorized user first has to register on the ZF Net Remote registration portal. After that the user can log on to the "ZF Net Remote Clientless – Virtual Access" portal through a secure log-in process to establish a connection to their virtual desktops or applications. The virtual desktops and applications are run in the ZF data centers, while only the screen display and the mouse and keyboard input are transmitted through the network to the terminal. The technical requirements for using "ZF Net Remote Clientless – Virtual Access" are described in Chapter 2.
