Accessing IRI Workbench Remotely with Google Chrome's Remote Desktop

In today's digital landscape, having the ability to access data management tools from anywhere is crucial for professionals in various industries. The IRI Workbench is one such tool that enables users to create, modify, share, and run their data management jobs with ease. However, security concerns often arise when using software vendor-managed infrastructure. This is where Google Chrome's Remote Desktop comes into play.

The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) implementation in Google Chrome provides a secure way to access Mac, Windows, or Linux computers running on-premise or in the cloud over the internet. This allows users to design and run IRI Voracity software from IRI Workbench remotely, eliminating the need for cumbersome VPN connections or complex infrastructure configurations.

While not a traditional web application, the IRI Workbench GUI, built on Eclipse, can be accessed and used as authorized from anywhere using Google Chrome's Remote Desktop. This flexibility is particularly useful for teams working on collaborative projects where members may be located in different parts of the world.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to use the Chrome Remote Desktop extension from Google to run IRI Workbench and its SortCL-powered mapping, masking, and munging jobs remotely from a browser. With this technology, users can access their data management tools from anywhere, at any time, without compromising on security.

By utilizing Google Chrome's Remote Desktop, users of IRI Workbench can enjoy the benefits of remote access without worrying about the security implications associated with software vendor-managed infrastructure. This flexibility and convenience make it an ideal solution for professionals working in various industries, including data management, finance, and healthcare.
