How to Reboot a Remote Workstation
The first computer workstation was the IBM 1620, which was created in 1959 and designed to be used by a single user. The workstation is similar to a personal computer but much more powerful. It is essentially a microcomputer used by a single user and normally connected to a network. The workstation has a higher performance than the personal computer with a greater memory capacity, better CPU and higher multitasking capabilities. A network administrator can remotely access a workstation connected to a network and can restart or reboot a remote workstation.
