# VMware Remote Console (VMRC)

You can access the VMware Remote Console (VMRC) right from the Veeam ONE Client interface. From within the VMware Remote Console, you can isolate the root cause of VM performance problems and perform management tasks — for example, restart an unresponsive VM.

This option requires no additional software installed on the Veeam ONE server and is available for both Window-based and Linux-based OS’s.

::: note

VMware Remote Console is not included as part of Veeam ONE and Veeam Backup & Replication installation and must be installed separately. For details on VMware Remote Console, see [Install the VMware Remote Console Application](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-38040DA5-2700-4D3F-8D7C-9996CCD6B2C7.html).
