Remote terminal unit. A remote terminal unit ( RTU) is a microprocessor -controlled electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system, and by using messages from the master supervisory system ...
Remote Desktop Services ( RDS ), known as Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and earlier, [1] is one of the components of Microsoft Windows that allow a user to initiate and control an interactive session [2] on a remote computer or virtual machine over a network connection.
