By Mike Fitchie, Head of Technical Pre-Sales at Altered Images

Following the HP Anyware end-of-sale announcement earlier this year, many organisations have been assessing what comes next for their remote access workflows.

HP Anyware has long been a prominent and trusted platform, particularly within the broadcast, media and creative industries. Its announcement therefore left businesses looking for an alternative capable of delivering the performance, security, flexibility and central management their teams rely on.

After testing and comparing several of the available options, Altered Images would like to introduce Reemo: a high-performance, multiplatform remote access solution designed for creative, technical and IT teams.

Finding the right HP Anyware alternative

When HP announced the end of sale of HP Anyware in April 2026, it sent ripples through the technology industry. A prominent, stable and trusted platform suddenly needed a viable alternative.

There are other players in this space, but finding a solution that offers the complete package can be difficult. Depending on the platform, there may be compromises involving:

• Operating system support

• Stream quality and responsiveness

• Encoding capabilities

• Brokering and management

• Licensing

• Security

• Peripheral support

• Deployment options

Standard IT support tools continue to have their place. However, for the genuinely multiplatform, high-performance and security-rich requirements of the broadcast and media industry, there was a gap that needed to be filled.

Over the following months, we tested and evaluated the available solutions. Products including Parsec, Amazon DCV and Jump Desktop each demonstrated strengths on a case-by-case basis, but one platform gradually became a much bigger part of the conversation: Reemo.

What is Reemo?

Reemo had been developing its remote access technology for approximately eight years before commercializing it. Its platform enables organisations to provide secure, high-performance access to any type of remote resources across public cloud, private cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.

Reemo describes its solution as the first agentless Zero Trust platform capable of aggregating different types of distant resources. It has been designed to make remote access straightforward for administrators, IT teams and end users, while still supporting the performance requirements of creative applications and media workflows.

Following the HP Anyware announcement, Reemo has continued to develop its platform around the questions and requirements being raised by customers.

The result is a solution that goes beyond basic remote desktop access.

Key Reemo features

Reemo combines remote access performance, centralised management, security and collaboration within a single platform.

Key capabilities include:

• Bandwidth support up to 200 Mbps, including HEVC and 4:4:4 colour

• Automatic resolution management

• Low-latency streaming for responsive creative workflows

• Support for Windows, macOS and Linux hosts

• Multi-display and peripheral support

• Wacom and advanced USB support

• Accurate colour representation

• Headless operation

• Central user and endpoint management

• Granular roles and permissions

• Two-factor authentication and access controls

• Download and clipboard restrictions

• Collaboration tools

• Variable bandwidth controls

• Relay server options

• TPN Gold accreditation

• European time-zone support

Depending on the selected Reemo plan, organisations can also access capabilities including SAML Single Sign-On, user and resource groups, customised interfaces, dedicated relay servers, IP filtering, session recording, audit logs, LDAP integration, SCIM provisioning and API access.

Flexible deployment for different environments

One of Reemo’s key strengths is its flexible architecture.

The platform can support public cloud, private cloud, hybrid and fully on-premises environments. This gives organisations the freedom to choose an approach that fits their security requirements, existing infrastructure and preferred way of working.

Reemo’s available offerings include:

Reemo Teamwork

Teamwork is a public-cloud option designed to provide straightforward, high-performance remote access and collaboration. It includes the core streaming, peripheral, user-management and security capabilities required by many creative teams.

Reemo Enterprise

Reemo’s Enterprise options provide additional authentication, orchestration and management capabilities for organisations with more advanced requirements.

Depending on the selected deployment, Enterprise can support public-cloud or dedicated-server environments, along with features such as SAML SSO, group management, usage scheduling, custom branding and dedicated WebSocket relay servers.

Reemo On-Premise

For organisations that require complete control over their infrastructure, Reemo also offers an on-premises option.

This includes capabilities such as unlimited users and computers, LDAP integration, SCIM provisioning, a dedicated portal, departmental allocation, multi-node clustering and Reemo API access for wider IT integration.

The right option will depend on the size of your team, security requirements, infrastructure and the level of control your organisation needs.

More than remote access for creatives

At IBC 2026, we had the opportunity to meet members of the Reemo team and see its latest KVM tools in action.

This raised an important question: why limit the technology to one use case when it has so many more possibilities?

Reemo can provide remote access for editors, artists and other creatives working either remotely or on-site. However, the same platform can also give IT teams controlled access to an organisation’s wider technology estate and support more complex KVM environments.

Rather than deploying separate products for different teams, Reemo provides the potential to bring creative access, IT administration and more advanced remote-control requirements together.

That message resonated with both us and our customers.

Built for media and creative workflows

Remote creative work places very different demands on technology compared with standard office-based remote access.

Editors, colourists, designers and VFX artists need a responsive experience, consistent image quality and dependable peripheral support. IT teams also need central management, access controls and deployment options that work with the organisation’s security policies.

Reemo’s combination of low-latency streaming, high-resolution support, colour accuracy and peripheral compatibility makes it particularly relevant to media and entertainment workflows.

Its support for Mac, Windows and Linux hosts also helps organisations manage mixed technology environments without forcing every team into a single operating system.

A competitive commercial option

Technical performance is only one part of the decision. Licensing, support and predictable costs also need to be considered.

We believe Reemo Teamwork and Enterprise will meet the requirements of many of our customers, while offering competitive pricing against established remote access platforms.

Through Altered Images, Reemo pricing is available in GBP, helping UK customers simplify purchasing and compare costs more easily.

Our team can help you assess the available Reemo plans, identify the features your organisation requires and recommend the most appropriate deployment model.

Our experience with Reemo

Customer tests, demonstrations and conversations have continued over recent months, and the way forward has become much clearer.

We have been working with customers as they evaluate Reemo for their own environments, including organisations preparing to replace existing HP Anyware licences. The response to these trials has been positive, with particular interest in Reemo’s performance, ease of deployment, multiplatform support and wider IT applications.

For some organisations, this is not simply about replacing one remote access product with another. It is an opportunity to reconsider how creative users, technical teams and IT departments securely access the resources they need.
