LogMeIn3rd party Software for remote supportUsed when accessing an external network. ( Outside of DOE network range)Allows remote access to Mac computers over Goverlan.

Without VirtualizationIn networking aspect, will be unable to communicate with any external network and will have to use a 3rd party applicationHave to physically be on the same network to communicate with computersRemote support would be limited
