Arula has taken a radically new approach to providing remote device management agents. Rather than providing individual agent platforms, Arula has developed a universal agent platform that enables companies to rapidly deploy agent solutions for any device in their remote offices. The Arula Universal Agent Platform contains all the common things an agent would need such as connectivity, logic and security. The Arula Universal Agent Platform thus enables development of hardware and software management solutions that allow an electronic device to be rapidly and securely controlled from any Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet.
