Solve Your Customers’ Top Challenges with Parallels RAS
A Simple, Affordable All-in-One Solution
Parallels RAS is a complete, remote application and desktop delivery system that provides top-tier features without the expense and complexity of other popular VDI solutions. It streamlines Remote Desktop Session Hosts (RDSH), VDI and Azure Virtual Desktop management, enabling you to deliver a robust solution that reduces customer IT costs without compromising on functionality or sacrificing your margins.
Enables Secure Remote Working
Today’s organizations want to create more mobile, scalable and productive workforces. Parallels RAS enables your customers to implement policies, such as bring your own device (BYOD), that make remote work easier while keeping critical data protected via advanced security features. This helps create secure, productive digital workspaces so customers can remain agile.
Helps Ensure Business Continuity
With Parallels RAS, your customers can quickly adopt a multi-cloud strategy to seamlessly access desktops and applications from anywhere, at any time, helping to ensure business continuity. It enables you to offer native-like, full-featured desktops and applications to any device, operating system or platform, reducing the burden on customer IT teams. Plus, Parallels RAS is quick and easy for both admins and end users to implement and adopt.
Features of Parallels RAS
Azure Virtual Desktop Integration
Your customers can extend Azure Virtual Desktop capabilities by integrating, configuring and unifying all virtual workloads and resources from a centralized console. Integrate Parallels RAS deployments with Azure Virtual Desktop, delivering a single solution to end users.
Simplified Access with Parallels HTML5 Client
Enable your customers to access applications and desktops from anywhere, at any time, from any HTML5 browser. The Parallels HTML5 Client is an OS-independent, web-based application that provides an alternative method for users to securely access resources without having to install the Parallels® Client on their personal devices.
Auto-Provisioning and Auto-Scaling
Maintain high and consistent performance for virtual applications and desktops by automatically monitoring and scaling on-demand computing resources based on templates. Parallels RAS can dynamically create, remove, release and load balance Windows-based OSs on pre-defined criteria, ensuring sudden load spikes are easily managed without any manual action required.
White Labeling (Customization)
Provide your customers with a unified and personalized “look and feel” for their applications by customizing Parallels® HTML5 Client Portal and Windows Client user interface, enabling the same working environment no matter the device or location.
Multi-Tenancy
Implement a cost-effective solution that can easily manage multiple isolated tenants in the same Parallels RAS infrastructure. Maximize resource usage by sharing the access layer, including gateways and load balancers, among independent Parallels RAS Farms or Sites representing tenants while keeping data segregated and secure.
REST API and PowerShell
Save time and costs while maximizing resources, by enabling the automation of common, complex and repetitive tasks using REST APIs and/or PowerShell cmdlets. Enable easier integration of third-party tools and technologies with scheduling and workflow applications into the Parallels RAS ecosystem.
FSLogix Profile Container Integration
Your customers can easily deploy, configure and manage FSLogix Profile Containers as the preferred integrated user profile management solution from the Parallels RAS Console or Management Portal.
Automated image optimizations
Built-in automated image optimization capabilities for RDSH, VDI or Azure Virtual Desktop workloads improve the user experience for your customers, reduces IT infrastructure costs and accelerates time-to-production.
UX Evaluator and Advanced Session Metrics
IT Administrators can improve service delivery by pinpointing issues faster and more accurately with the User Experience (UX) Evaluator metric, combined with a complete view of user session details.
SAML SSO Authentication
Provide instant customer onboarding and deliver better services by integrating Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication technology. Allow customers to use their corporate credentials to log in to your services. When using SAML SSO authentication, users are not required to re-enter their credentials to login and launch their applications or desktops, providing a smoother user experience.
Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and Smart Cards
Provide additional layers of security for your customer data by using multifactor authentication before granting access to published applications and desktops. Parallels RAS integrates with third-party security solutions using RADIUS or others such as Deepnet DualShield, Gemalto’s SafeNet and Azure MFA (NPS). Additionally, Smart cards are supported.
Ultra-Fast Log-in with Session Pre-launch
Enable users to login and access their applications or desktops faster, increasing productivity by leveraging AI-based session pre-launch technology. Through Parallels RAS machine learning capabilities, user login habits are analyzed and sessions are pre-launched in memory, significantly reducing login time while distributing the back-end workload to prevent log-on storms during peak hours.
Desktop as a Service (DaaS)
Provide your customers with a flexible and agile approach to meet business requirements in shifting to the cloud by supporting on-premises, hybrid, multi and public cloud deployments. Leverage Azure Virtual Desktop to deploy all virtual resources from a central console. Utilize Microsoft Azure scalability capabilities along with Parallels RAS automation to deploy, manage and maintain RDSH and VDI infrastructures.
Superior Mobile Experience
Customers using a mobile device can access workspaces wherever they are while enjoying a consistent user experience, resulting in higher productivity across devices. Native gestures, multi-tasking and quick keypads, among other Parallels RAS proprietary mobile features, ensure an easy-to-use and local workspace-like experience for the user.
Printing Redirection
Ready out-of-the-box and easy-to-use, Parallels RAS Universal Printing enables your customers to instantly tap into local printers while accessing their digital workspace, without needing to download or configure drivers.
Single Pane of Glass Management
Free up time and cut costs by centrally managing administrative tasks, such as deploying servers, publishing applications, monitoring resources and providing helpdesk assistance from a single pane of glass—the Parallels RAS Console. The web-based Management Portal enhances mobility, enabling administrators to work on-the-go.
High Availability Load Balancer (HALB)
Reduce the possibility of your customers experiencing downtime by leveraging HALB, an included component that provides load balancing for Parallels RAS Secure Client Gateways, ensuring that loads are distributed among the gateways. Provide consistent user experience while mitigating downtime due to gateway failures.
Legacy Application Support and Containerization
Manage and deliver legacy and newer applications simultaneously by leveraging the support capabilities of Windows Server OS (2008/ R2, 2012/R2, 2016 & 2019). Parallels RAS offers multiple OS support in the same environment. In addition, Microsoft App-V and other application containerization solutions are supported within the Parallels RAS environment to mitigate application conflicts and compatibility issues.
