Was there ever a time when you are trying to relax in the living room and you realize you have a really good movie saved in your computer that you would like to watch? The problem is, you are quite lazy to get up and get it transferred from your computer in your bedroom to your media player in the living room.

Scenarios like this can be really annoying. You have to choose which one to give up; the movie that you would like to watch or the comfort you have found sitting on the cozy sofa bed in the living room.

If you have a remote access media server, you can watch your movie and at the same time not disturb your comfortable sitting. A remote access media server would allow you to access one server even if you are using another from a different place in the house.

Offices also make use of a remote access media server to allow employees to share files without necessarily having to disturb someone else who is working on the computer where the files are stored.

A remote access media server would allow you to share files from one media server to another in an easier and faster way. The only disadvantage of having one is if you do not know how to use it and you are not able to set it up in a way that limits those who can and cannot access your server. Unauthorized people may be able to access your server. That problem can of course be resolved or be prevented if you know how to set up your remote access.

There are so many products that sell remote access media servers like Cyberlink, Orb and mediasmarthome. If you would like to make your life easier, you can purchase a remote access media server or you can create your own.

You can actually create your own remote access media server and design its own policies so that you are guaranteed that your files are safe even if you allow sharing from one media to another.

If you are working in an office and you have so many things to do and not all of them are stored in your computer, some may be on your employees computer, it would be a wise idea to have a remote access media server so that you would not need to get up from your seat all the time. If you have several media appliances at home, it would also be nice if you have a remote access media server so that you would not need to run from your living room to your bedroom and back just to play a movie that you have saved on your computer. A remote access media server would make things easier for you.

You would be glad to know that there are now media players and hard drives that would make your home go digital through remote access sharing. Everything is designed at your convenience.
