# Remote Console

It does not always make sense to manage an instance of Talend ESB using the local console. Talend ESB can be remotely managed using a remote console.

When you start Karaf, it enables a remote console that can be accessed over SSH from any other Karaf console or plain SSH client. The remote console provides all the features of the local console and gives a remote user complete control over the container and services running inside of it.
