Is your company taking full advantage of the capabilities of Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop?
Parallels RAS helps you to get even more value from your AVD investment.
On top of smooth, intuitive deployment and management, Parallels RAS also considerably
lowers Azure consumption costs with features like auto-scaling and image optimization.
It also natively supports hybrid deployments so you can host workloads in Azure, on-premises,
and in several clouds as well as AVD, and control it all from one place.
But where Parallels RAS really excels is in improving the user experience.
Let's take a look at just a few of the ways.
Want to give your users an Azure Virtual Desktop experience but still have applications on-premises?
This could be a major headache for your users.
With Parallels RAS you are licensed to run applications anywhere,
so delivering remote access to applications in your data center is easy too.
The applications stay close to the data and users retain their great experience
while making use of AVD for their desktop.
Offer users mobility by enabling them to start locally installed applications
from within their remote session.
Parallels RAS enables the publishing of local applications,
making the client a single launcher for remote and local resources.
Printing in virtual environments can get complicated,
but with Parallels RAS Universal Printing,
it's straightforward with high-end features like compression and multi-function support.
Two standout features are the dynamic updating of the default remote session printer.
The instant a user changes it locally, no log-off is required.
And redirected printers become accessible much faster on session reconnect
than with native methods, in most cases in only one second versus 10.
It is easy to activate these user experience features out of the box with Parallels RAS.
