Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for accessing remote devices is provided. The proposed method allows users to remotely access devices or tools controlled by a VM implemented on a remote server. A user of a client machine can access a remote device controlled by a server or by local client of the server. The server can have a number of Virtual Machines (VMs) implemented on it. Each of the VMs can run a Guest OS that has guest device drivers installed on it. The VM receives the user request and passes on user commands to a device controlled by the guest device driver installed on the Guest OS of the VM.
