Overview
Meshcentral is an open source project under Apache 2.0 license that allows administrators to remotely manage computers over the Internet using a single web portal. You have to download and install a mesh agent on all your devices, but once installed the agent is self-upgrading and makes the device available for management on the web portal. There are a few things that set Meshcentral apart from other solutions. It's open source and so, anyone can freely setup their own instance of Meshcentral on their own server. Meshcentral manages a very wide array of devices: Windows, OSX, Android, Linux, XEN and more. You can use the same solution to manage big servers and Intel® Galileo devices.

Tutorial Videos

To help, we have a YouTube playlist with a set of tutorial videos covering many aspects of using Meshcentral.  The first two videos "Getting Started" and "Basic Features" are probably the best way to get a quick initiation to Meshcentral.

Compatible Tools

Most people using Meshcentral will only use the web portal, which is feature rich and works on any device with a browser. But in addition to the web portal, we have applications and tools that are compatible with Meshcentral. So, if you are already using these tools, you can easily take advantage of remote management for the Internet.
