# Remote connection management

Remote connection management centralizes RDP, SSH, VNC, web, and other session types in one secure, audited launcher. Define templates, inherit shared settings, and trigger prerequisites such as VPNs or gateways automatically. Use playlists for daily routines, and automate session creation or maintenance with Devolutions PowerShell.

At Devolutions, the remote connection management package brings together Remote Desktop Manager, Devolutions Gateway, Devolutions Launcher, Devolutions Cloud, Devolutions Password Manager, and Devolutions Server. Store and govern entries in Devolutions Cloud or Devolutions Server, launch connections with Remote Desktop Manager (or Devolutions Launcher), route secure tunnels through Devolutions Gateway, and work across devices with Devolutions Password Manager. This reduces manual steps, helps enforce least privilege, and speeds troubleshooting.
