Parallels RAS

I'm the controller of the company and all the tools are in a cloud system for me to access it from different places (work or home), Parallels is the tool used in the organization that allow me connect to those tools in a secure manner. I normally use parallels clients on my PC but there is also time that I'm able to get information from my phone.

We are using Parallels to improve the performance of terminal Services for our users in our office in the United Kingdom, where they connect back to our office here in Massachusetts. Because of the connection between our offices, using normal Remote Desktop proved to be fairly slow for the users. Once we were able to overlay Parallels, they found their performance improved greatly.

We use Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) to remotely use customers' Production Management System that is specially made for the plastics industry. That program is very heavy, almost impossible to use over a VPN connection. And very fragile on network breakage/errors. When using RAS the program stays on the server, and only screen is mirrored to the users computer. No network issues when local network is only used. If users connect to RAS breaks, the job continues where it left off when the connection gets back. RAS is pretty good for this environment, users like to use two screens on the RAS web version, but now we have to satisfy the one screen with tabs. RAS makes it also possible to use PMS on phones and tablets.

We have coded in-house applications to gather real-time information about our manufacturing process that is hosted on parallels RAS servers and accessed from the parallels client for windows, IOS, and android. We are predominantly a Citrix environment, but I shifted a third of our licensing off Citrix to Parallels mainly due to the cheaper cost of parallels licensing. Parallels are much faster from launch to load for our end users, easily by a factor of 3-4X versus our XenApp servers. Typically most endpoints using parallels are for data entry (either manual entry or tied in with USB/network data points), product labeling to direct thermal printers (USB mainly) or warehousing use (paired with Bluetooth scanners for counting finished products).

We are in the process of moving users to Parallels in order to replace our VPN. With Parallels we can control what the users have access to better than we could with our VPN or remote gateway. We liked it due to the ability to publish specific applications for users that don't have an assigned computer. This enables them to still be able to remote in as needed.

We use the Remote Application Server for deploying workspaces for our staff. All terminal software is automated by RAS. The greatest thing is very simple deploying of new software for users and powerful security settings

The goal with Parallels Remote Application Server was to make a few specific Windows applications available remotely and in emergencies while a user's computer was being repaired or replaced. We were drawn to it because of how happy we were with their desktop offerings.

- We used Parallels to run applications/software for MAC users through AppsAnyWhere. - Also, parallels were used to access Desktops in our University’s labs. - One of the main problems that we faced was adding new Desktops. It caused to get all the other available Desktops/labs on AppsAnywhere to be down.

We have a finance Application which requires a remote desktop connection from different branch offices. We have replaced expensive Citrix with Parallels and saved money

We currently have all of our remote work running via Parallels Remote Application Server with multiple servers across our group internationally. This provides a great and easily manageable infrastructure with a versatile and reliable architecture that allows you to manage both users and devices connected to your network. It supports various forms of two-factor authentication. In our case, we use the Google authenticator as it also ties in with other services we use. It also allows us to set up redundant servers and have the ability to load balance on a per session basis. So that if we need to shut one of the production servers down for maintenance, it is easy to do so as it will push the sessions towards the other server.

Our company develops software with C# for Windows. With Parallels Remote Application Server, we can publish our Windows client to our customers. Our customers have a cloud-like experience. The customer has a link on their desktop (Windows or Mac) and can start our program. The program starts on a server in the cloud, but the customer sees it on their computer. This is a great solution for us because we are working on transitioning to web-based, but we are not there yet. Customers want the cloud, so we provide it with this solution.

It's a good product to use the Applications that are compatible with the Mac os X Platform and we have extensively used it during Pandemic especially provisioning programs like Rhino and ArcGIS and many other applications.

We, use Parallel RAS for WFH, VDI deployment for our own and Clients from different industries. Publishing Desktop, Seamlessly Applications. Both with their in-house datacenters. AWS and M365 give people access to all the apps they use for work — web, virtual, mobile, from one easy-to-use portal on any of their devices, from wherever they need to work. And because the entire workspace is centralized, IT can see everything that's going on and have a simple way to manage and control it all. Parallel RAS allows us to publish current applications and publish legacy applications securely.

TSG Networks is a Value-Added Managed Service Provider which has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area for over 40 years. During that time, we have supported our clients by offering many different Remote Access options. There are some good options available today, however, the only one that offers seamless connectivity, with ease of use, at a reasonable price point is Parallels Remote Application Server. Being able to offer a product that offers "Best of Class" technical support is also a priority when you need it. These last two years have been trying for organizations of all sizes. Having this easy-to-use remote access offering has let our clients concentrate on their businesses's not their technology. Going forward many of these same businesses have decided to alter the culture of how their staff works by allowing them to continue to work remotely part-time and some even full-time. This would not have been possible without a way for employees to easily and securely access their company data. Thank You Parallels Remote Application Server for providing a product that makes TSG Networks look like a "Hero" to our clients.

At the start of the pandemic, we needed a quick, secure solution to get our workforce working from home. Using a combination of published desktop machines and Terminal server we were able to quickly bring users online as if they were sitting in the office without opening themselves up to messy VPN setups.

We use Parallels RAS not just for the publication of desktops to users, but for our in-house ERP app. RAS is the only remote access solution that we've used that has the customization options needed to publish this app successfully. It has plentiful, easily configurable, and granular options for each app published.

Our team is using Parallels Remote Application Server to work remotely on a virtual desktop to share its applications while maintaining data security. It can be hosted on a scalable cloud environment that can handle up to 100 concurrent users. It allows SSL connection, FIPS 140-2 encryption, and graphics acceleration using RemoteFX, providing you with an unmatched remote working solution.

We are using Parallels Remote Application Server for providing and ensuring secure access for our engineers and development teams to the application servers for UAT and PROD. It has helped us ensure security for accessing the servers and software tools and applications hosted on the network.

Parallels [Remote Application Server] is being used across the entire organization to allow our staff secure cloud based access to our EMR. It allows us to deliver a legacy based applications to our users over a cloud based interface anywhere they may be working as long as they have some type of internet connection.

During the Covid-19 pandemic lock down our users had to go offsite and continue their studies and work remotely. We use Parallels [Remote Application Server]:
To delivery existing high specification Windows workstations to users off site (who have any device, basic PC, MacOS, Chromebook etc.)
To expand and automate delivery and access to software on the AppsAnywhere hub offsite using virtual servers to users with any device.

We deployed Parallels to replace VPN access for our entire organization. Employees are able to access network applications and resources by simply going to our Parallels web portal or using the Parallels client. We protect access with two factor authentication via phone push. Some of the main goals were to provide a simpler experience but also more secure. Employees can now use their own devices when needed.

When COVID-19 sent employees home, we were fortunate to have had Parallels already in production. We transitioned to a remote work environment and it was a totally smooth transition.

In our marine operation department, new applications require that we control all inventory in the company fleet. This application is not web-based. To run this application we should have access to the server remotely; without this application, we mistakenly buy materials twice or even more. To solve this we needed something to control this. The problem is that communication between ships and head office is very costly and slow.

Parallels RAS is used by various clients whom we are dealing with right now and we highly recommend it when customers are looking for solutions for publishing their applications and remote access. Due to the current epidemic situation we highly recommend Parallels RAS which is a robust and versatile proven solution to provide un-interrupted local experience with published applications and remote access.

Parallels RAS is used by all organizations. RAS has solved the deployment of client applications on local and remote end-users PCs and reduced the support requests on the IT department.

Parallels RAS is used to provide remote access to our business applications for remote users, contractors, and consultants. It has been used by the whole organization, however, it has been utilized the most by dept. which outsources most of their functions to a 3rd party such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, and purchasing. The application addresses the issue of offering a standard and easy way to access our business applications in a secured and controlled environment for remote users.
