Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server

We use Parallels RAS for application and desktop virtualization. Connection through a heavy client and an HTML client allows us to serve specific user profiles personalizing user experience and accessibility. The RAS GW feature allows us to cope with IT security issues concerning applications confined in special virtual networks, while the VDI feature allows us to prepare desktops on the shelf for developers.
  • HTML 5 client
  • VDI on the shelf
  • Load balancing
  • Heavy client: limit usage of special ports that might be blocked by corporate network policies.
  • RAS: limit usage of special ports that might be blocked by corporate network policies.
