A8. Yes, NEOREKA Cloud PC is a virtual PC in the cloud, so it is not affected by the specs of the device you are using, and you will be able to use it comfortably once it is connected (this is for RDP connection. If you are using a browser connection, your computer specs will be affected.)
Q9. I want to use LINE, can I use it?
A9. Yes, you can use the LINE client for Windows.

Q12. Is NEOREKA Cloud PC necessary because employees do not work outside the office or at home?
A12. Of course, NEOREKA Cloud PC is a very effective tool for remote work, but when working with IT in the future, it will be very important for managers to maintain the environment. The era of owning information terminals such as computers has been replaced by the era of using them, and all kinds of terminals can now be operated in the same way as computers.

Q13. When do you use NEOREKA Cloud PC?
A13. Cloud computing for personal computers is not simply a way to cope with changes in the way we work, but also to help improve the information environment of companies in the future. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is required by managers to protect their businesses, employees, and customers by preparing an environment that requires business continuity at the very least in response to disasters that have an impact on business management, such as corona disasters and sudden disasters. Cloud computing is often used as a management strategy for such BCP.
In terms of work style, cloud computing is useful for preparing a safe and easy (instant) information terminal environment for remote work and work from home. In addition, cloud computing reduces the cost of information terminals and software for companies, and greatly reduces the need for high security and operation. In the future, cloud-based information utilization will be useful as a basis for corporate DX (Digital Transformation).
Q14. I would like to take this opportunity to consider cloud computing for my company environment.
A14. If you are considering moving your company environment to the cloud, you should consider installing high-speed Internet, wireless routers, and information terminals, as well as cloud computing, shared storage, cloud information sharing tools (such as groupware), and cloud-based business applications. We have a range of services that can help you install high-speed Internet, internal routers, and cloud computing.
Q15. Isn't it enough that we are already using cloud storage?
A15. I think that sharing information through cloud storage is great because it promotes the DXification of the information environment and promotes the use of IT in companies. Why don't we go further with cloud computing here? By converting the computers themselves to the cloud, we can prepare for the risk of aging, failure, damage or loss, or create an environment where we don't have to worry about version upgrades. We also recommend that you consider groupware and other information sharing tools in the future.
Q16. I want to access files on a file server in my company (information sharing), is this possible?
A16. Yes, as long as you have the means (e.g. VPN) and environment to access the files from outside the company. However, please note that access may not be possible depending on the system used.
Q17. I want to access (share information with) a NAS in my company.
A17. Yes, you can, as long as the NAS has a function that allows you to access it from the Internet (Buffalo NAS, Web access function, etc.).
Q18. Is it possible to share information without accessing the internal server?
A18. Yes, this is possible by using a storage service provided in the cloud. For example, Google Drive and OneDrive can be used free of charge for a certain amount of space.
Q19. How can I share and use files on multiple cloud PCs?
A19. This is possible by using a storage service provided in the cloud or a cloud-based groupware service. For example, storage services such as Google Drive and OneDrive can be used free of charge for a certain amount of space. As for cloud-based groupware, we recommend "desknet's NEO" by NEO Japan Inc.
Q20. Can I use the same user ID in different locations?
A20. Yes, you can use it. It is possible to access the same Cloud PC at different locations and at different times. However, only one person can access the Cloud PC using the same user ID (this is called "single access").
Q21. Can I use the same user ID from multiple locations at the same time?
A21. No, you cannot. Only one person can access the Cloud PC at a time with the same user ID (this is called "single access"). The system will switch to the user who connects later, and the user who has been using the system will be disconnected and will no longer be able to use it (*the screen you are working on will be retained and taken over).
Q22. 仮想デスクトップにショートカットキーは作成できますか？
A22. はい、できます。但しショートカットの向け先(IPアドレスや接続先情報)が固定である場合のみ動作します。ローカルＰＣやローカルネットワークにつながっているファイルサーバー等は、NEOREKAクラウドPCが立ち上がるたびに、ダイナミックに接続先設定が変わってしまいますので、ショートカットキーへ設定することはできませんのでご注意ください。
