Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

- 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.

Pros and Cons

Giving access to different Applications and software
Giving access to Labs PCs/Desktops
Running windows on MAC

Allowing Parallels RDP connection for specific Desktops instead of accessing Uni campus

Parallels RAS Simplicity
