Podcast: Ylian Saint-Hilaire on MeshCentral

This week Scott and I spoke with Ylian Saint-Hilaire of Intel about his MeshCentral project. While we were talking I just kept thinking how cool it would be to use Kynetx react to the events this system creates. I didn't indulge myself however, that will wait for a future conversation. Here's the description from IT Conversations: MeshCentral, a remote monitoring and management web site, allows a user to connect with home or office devices from anywhere in the world.
