How to do remote management
-
First of all, I want to say that, this is a great product that allows us to set up new computer quickly and efficiently. Easy of installation, provisioning, and management, I can’t say no more.
I got a question about the remote management. Definitely, we can clone a computer locally because it is under the same network. However, is that possible that we can clone a computer remotely? The main page of Fog says it is possible to do remote management. How can that be possible if they are not under the same network? Thanks -

Fog of course needs a network path to the target.
Beyond that, you can make things more efficient with storage nodes, which are sort of like remote fog slave servers under the control of the master server - they hold images so that you don’t have to image across a WAN. Also there is the FOG Client which allows for OS level management of all the workstations you’re managing.Look at these wiki articles for some insight:
