titleConnect to Office Resources using RDP

You can connect directly to an Incredibuild agent in your office using RDP. If you use the agent in your office as the initiator, you will be using your office network and will therefore not be depending on your home network connection. Make sure you are not relying on helper agents that are outside of the office such as other colleagues working from home.

titleUse VDI Resources

VDI refers to using virtual machines to manage virtual desktops. This solution is very similar to using RDP to connect to physical machines, but instead you are connecting to virtual machines. Similar to working in the cloud, VDI resources allow you to easily increase or decrease computing power on demand.

Since these virtual machines can be accessed at home, but exist in your office or in the cloud, the dependency on your home network is greatly reduced.

titleUse Cloud Resources

You can use the cloud to deploy helper agents on demand using Incredibuild's cloud solution. This solution will only work if your home network connection is strong. It is recommended in the following cases:

  • You have a strong home network connection, but the helper agent machines may not have good connections (other colleagues at home).

  • You have a strong network connection, but you are required to connect to helper agents via a VPN that does not have a strong network connection.

In these cases, you can use your own machine as the initiator and leverage as many agents as you need in the cloud.
