Business Mobility

Utilize virtual workspace technologies to increase employee satisfaction.

Bolster Employee Productivity

Productivity is maximized when employees have fewer disruptions and spend less time commuting. Businesses that enable remote working and flexible hours have higher employee satisfaction and greater talent retention.

Lower Overhead Costs

Enterprise mobility can reduce overhead significantly. By enabling employees to work remotely, an organization may greatly reduce rent and the cost of utilities for a large office space. The savings accrued can get channeled to other pressing business matters.

Simplify Business Continuity Planning

Every company faces the prospect of disruption from planned events like office relocation to unplanned catastrophes. If employees cannot access applications and files, business suffers. Business mobility technologies enable employees to access work data despite disruptions.

Intuitive user experience (UX)

Parallels RAS enhances business mobility with smooth and effortless access from any device.

No training required

Deliver applications and desktops with a local-like experience across all devices, reducing the learning curve to virtually zero.

Mobile device native gestures

Use iOS and Android gestures—such as swipe, drag, tap to click and zoom in—with any Windows application.

Multi-tasking

Easily switch between different applications to work simultaneously on several tasks.

Quick keypads

Simplify complex and frequent actions, such as copy and paste, by creating customizable key shortcuts.

Fast application response time

Experience real-time interaction when performing tasks in applications and desktops.

Display optimization

Diminish eye fatigue by providing applications that scale and resize to fit the entire screen on any device.

Seamless UX on any device and any location to enable dynamic access anytime, keeping the business up and running.

Protect your Data

Ensure corporate data is safe and secure with remote working.

Remain compliant with laws and regulations

With an increase in job-jumping, third-party contractors, mobile workstations and cyberattacks, security and data management are a challenge.

By deploying digital workspaces, organizations can centralize data and monitor and restrict access, reducing the risks of noncompliance.

Reduce the Risk of Data Breaches

A data loss, leakage or breach can incur huge costs and damage to an organization’s reputation, even resulting in shutting down the business in the most severe cases.

Maintain data integrity by providing data access only to trusted sources, enforcing policies and restricting access based on geographic location, device, and MAC address.

Implement safeguards to your intellectual property (IP)

When work entails handling confidential product designs, source codes, and patents, the last thing your business needs are vulnerabilities caused by inadvertent leaks or malicious activity.

Restrict access to IP with encryption and preventing unauthorized sources filtered by geographical locations, MAC address, device and more.

Security and Monitoring

Parallels RAS has a wide range of tools to help organizations monitor and secure applications in multi-cloud environments

Multifactor Authentication

A second-level authentication can be enabled to provide a high level of protection with different types of security tokens for multifactor authentication.

Smart Card Authentication

Utilize easy-to-use smart card authentication on a server-client connection, allowing organizations to authenticate users’ access to published applications and desktops.

Kiosk Mode

Allow administrators to convert Windows devices running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 into a secure Kiosk-like mode without replacing the operating system.

Encryption Protocols

Parallels RAS Secure Client Gateway uses SSL or FIPS 140-2 protocol to encrypt connections, helping organizations adhere to data compliance policies.

Advanced Filtering

Granular filtering rules are created to restrict user access. IT staff can define several filtering rules to decide who has authorization.

Data Segregation

Allow the creation of an unlimited number of independent sites inside the same farm. No data can be shared between sites, ensuring data protection.

Clipboard Restriction

Avoid any unwanted data leakage from published applications by disabling paste and copy on the clipboard, reducing the risk that sensitive data can be stolen.

Client Policy

A client policy is a set of rules defined by the administrator to manage, control, and restrict the settings options available to users.
