Remote

See also: Local

Something remote is distant, not within the local area. Satellites, Sealand and mirrors are remote.

Computers in remote locations have many uses. Backups can be moved to a remote location for redundancy. Servers running SSH provide remote control over the server to authenticated users with a SSH client. Distributed Computing Projects require spare hardware from remote locations.
