What's New in Parallels RAS 21.0

This latest release [music] of Parallels Raz introduces exciting new features and enhancements designed to elevate the admin and [music] end user experience to deliver greater flexibility and value. Let's look at some of the top new features. First up is fine grained clipboard [music] control. Here you can manage what a user can copy and paste from a remote session [music] to the local machine and from their local machine into their remote session. >> [music] >> Next, we've enhanced user feedback during disconnections. If a user gets disconnected, [music] they'll now see a clear message that reconnection is in progress and their desktop will gray out until the session is restored. We've added [music] support for FSLogix version 25.06. That means full compatibility and [music] peace of mind for customers running the latest FSLogix build. >> [music] >> We've also introduced support for the Windows app to launch Azure virtual desktop sessions. This lets customers switch from the soontobe deprecated AVD [music] client set to retire in March 2026 and move to the Windows app today. Configurable via policy. In version 21, you can now pass the client's public [music] IP address through to Raz to be used by Radius server. This is accessed using themes in the admin console. You go into the theme, choose client [music] public IP detection and you can either use the parallel service which is available to you there with a test button or you can use your own custom service. The public IP of the client is then passed through to Raz. So the Radius server can make use of it. [music] To make use of this, go into connection multiffactor authentication and look at your radius settings. [music] Inside those radius settings, you can see attributes. One of these attributes allows you to assign a client public [music] IP and knowing this allows the radius server to make decisions within Radius. [music] We've also added conditional automation. You can now create multiple user conditions, apply specific automation settings [music] to each and set priority order. RAZ processes these in sequence. The first match applies, making it easier to manage complex multi-user radius configurations. [music] We've significantly improved secure gateway performance, especially for those using the user portal. NodeJS has been upgraded [music] to support multi-threading. Previously, it was singlethreaded, meaning one CPU [music] core handled all requests. Now, workloads are distributed across multiple cores, improving efficiency and scalability. For larger organizations, that means [music] supporting more users per gateway and fewer gateways needed overall. These are just a few of the new features in Parallels Raz version 21, [music] but there are many more to explore.
