Managed Application and Desktop Delivery Service
Businesses of all sizes are making a significant shift from on-premises to managed application, desktop delivery services and the cloud. Driven by the need for flexibility and cost considerations, business leaders recognize the advantage of moving away from infrastructure software and projects in favor of outsourcing them. By leveraging a managed service model, resources can focus on more business-critical initiatives.
Any Windows Application and Desktop on Any Device
Parallels RAS empowers service providers to offer native-like, full-featured desktops and applications to any device, operating system or platform.
As part of the PSP program, you’ll be able to help your clients leverage the cloud or SaaS to seamlessly deliver applications and desktops, as well as extend the lifespan of legacy software. Enable clients to achieve their goal of reducing IT overhead and freeing up IT resources, all while increasing the value of software investments.

We understand your business
We know you have many customers with different needs and requirements, and you have to respond to them quickly and efficiently to be successful. Parallels RAS auto-configuration wizards reduce rollout time, making your services available to clients in a few hours instead of days or weeks.
We help solve your most common challenges
Scheduling and coordinating IT maintenance and downtime windows is a difficult task for any organization. For a service provider like you, it can be truly burdensome as you serve employees for hundreds of different organizations, with different sizes, diverse verticals and specialized needs. This means working with complex infrastructure to match customer expectations in terms of service level agreement (SLA) and quality of service (QOS).
With preconfigured templates, Parallels RAS allows you to plan and schedule the maintenance of your farms and sites, reducing or completely eliminating the need for service interruption.
We share your goals
We have a clear understanding of your business model and the challenges you face as a service provider—from technical support to the intricacies of servicing clients, each with potentially unique configurations. Maximizing the profit margin while incurring the cost of support, administration, service (servers, bandwidth, networking, etc.) and other variable costs is a challenge. Parallels RAS is the most cost-effective application delivery and VDI solution on the market. You can save up to 90% on overall cost when compared to other vendors, contributing substantially to your financial success.
SPLA Sublicenses
Parallels RAS supports SPLA sublicensing. Service providers can create different sublicense keys for each customer, to monitor and control the maximum number of users per farm.
Under one single master license key, SPs can manage multiple farms while retaining easy, centralized billing.
An SPLA sublicense can have a limited or unlimited number of concurrent users. When an SPLA sublicense has a limited number of concurrent users, Parallels RAS can track the license consumption and send an email notification about the usage to specific recipients.
White Labeling
Parallels HTML5 Client and Windows Client allows organizations to customize the user interface (UI) to reflect their branding or color scheme. White labeling enables the configuration of different themes for individual users or groups within the active directory to reflect different department requirements.
Gain flexibility to deliver tailored IT services.
Parallels RAS makes it easy for SPs to plug into an SPLA licensing model, with flexible pay-as-you-go options and no upfront fees.
Increase your presence in key verticals.
Broaden your business across education, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, finance, banking and more.
