Support for the pcAnywhere host in Windows XPe and WEPOS embedded environments enables remote access for business services environments requiring kiosks, point-of-sale or other specialized devices. New remote management tools for pcAnywhere Mobile provide access to Command Prompt, Task Manager and System State tools without initiating a remote control session. This greatly reduces steps, bandwidth, and time required for remote troubleshooting and issue resolution from Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Pocket PC Phone Edition devices.

For expanded ease of use, pcAnywhere 12.0 provides a new basic view user interface option which offers intuitive, simplified, task-based graphic options. The single session manager feature gives users the option to combine all active sessions into a single window with tabs for each session.

Connectivity from Anywhere, to Anywhere The introduction of the Symantec pcAnywhere Access Server enables SMBs, VARs and other service providers a way to support their internal and external clients by discovering and connecting to multiple pcAnywhere hosts through a centralized, secure host access point from anywhere, regardless of location or network configuration. With the pcAnywhere Access Server, pcAnywhere hosts establish a reverse connection to pcAnywhere Access Server from behind firewalls and NAT devices.

 By detecting when host machines are online and available for connection, pcAnywhere Access Server eases remote access, support discovery and connectivity challenges without incurring expensive subscription fees. Administration capabilities within pcAnywhere Access Server allow logical arrangement of available hosts by customer, organization, or department. The pcAnywhere Web Remote is included with pcAnywhere Access Server, allowing for hosted web-based access from devices, without any requirement to have pcAnywhere pre-installed.
