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 Virtual Environment (VE) implemented on a remote server. A user of a client machine or a mobile communications device can access a remote device controlled by a server or by local client of the server. The server can have a number of VEs implemented on it. Each of the VE can run a Guest OS that has guest device drivers installed on it. The VE 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 VE.
