Myrtille (original) (raw)

What is it?

Myrtille is an Open Source solution that provides a web access to servers, desktops and applications.

To achieve this, it relies on the SSH and RDP protocols to send the user's actions from the browser to the remote side, through a web gateway, and stream back the display and audio with a constant focus on performance.

It is widely used by individuals and businesses wishing to access their resources outside their home or business network, or give access to a third party (an employee, a customer, a tech support, etc.) without compromising on security.

Remote everything

Myrtille's main goal is to provide access to remote servers, desktops and applications in the simplest possible way: using a web browser.

Myrtille is a remote access gateway. It's installed once and gives access to all machines (where remote access is enabled) on the network. Users don't need to install anything on their workstations (no agent, browser plugin or extension), neither at work nor at home.

In addition to HTTPS, Myrtille can be moved into a DMZ, or behind a reverse proxy, a firewall, while streaming pure HTML content and therefore not blocked at any time. The end user benefits from browser isolation and the remote server is behind a gateway.

App webification

Myrtille makes your legacy application available from an URL, effectively turning it into a web application, which can be hosted on a cloud platform (Azure, AWS, Google, etc.), on-premise or both.

The time savings are considerable because you don't have to rewrite a single line of code and you don't lose any functionality in the process.

Your application becomes cross-platform because it works on any device and operating system into a web browser. Resource requirements for the end user are also no longer relevant as your application is running on the server side.

With Myrtille, you can share a remote session with as many people as you want, granting them access control or not, even if the underlying protocol doesn't support it.

This allows for collaborative work, and you can therefore imagine new uses for your application (interactive demo, group work, etc.).

SaaS model

Thanks to Myrtille, your application can now be served in SaaS mode. You can control its access and monitor its usage.

This opens up new business models for your application, as you can charge it based on pay-per-use, rental, or subscription.

Training and workshops

Myrtille can be used to validate degrees or pass certifications, and is particulary adapted for complex software which requires "hands on". This is what is done, for example, by Practice Labs, a Myrtille early adopter and sponsor.

Using the collaborative mode, a trainer can share a remote desktop or application with the learners and make them interact with each others, or provide them with links for individual practice.

Among the development roadmap, connectors with LMS like Moodle (Open Source) are planned. This will allow to embed Myrtille into training courses, driven by the LMS portal and using the Myrtille APIs.
