What's New in Parallels RAS 22

Introducing Parallels RAS 22. This release gives IT teams more control over the devices and sessions connecting to corporate resources. It also makes it easier for users to get to the applications, desktops, and files they need. Here's what's new. A device connecting to corporate resources isn't always a device IT manages. With Client Device Posture Checks, admins can assess requirements such as antivirus status and OS or browser versions before trusting an endpoint with access. They can also keep track of device compliance over time. That's especially useful for BYOD and contractor devices that sit outside IT's direct control. RAS 22 adds session recording and playback. Admins can record remote user sessions and review them when needed. For organizations managing sensitive or contractor access, those recordings can support auditing, incident investigations, and compliance requirements. Getting to a work file shouldn't require a separate experience. File access adds a files area to the RAS user portal. Users can browse existing SMB shares alongside their applications and favorites, then open a file directly in the appropriate application. IT can provide that experience using SMB infrastructure already in place. RAS 22 also adds more flexibility to your hosting options with the introduction of first-party AVD Hybrid support. AVD Hybrid lets organizations manage AVD hosts running in Azure and on-premises infrastructure through Parallels RAS, with more flexibility over where hosts and data reside. Mac users will notice changes too. True Coherence mode makes published applications behave more like apps installed directly on the Mac, with a more native dock experience and live application previews. RAS 22 also gives admins more control based on a user's public IP address. The client's public IP address can be used to apply access policies and multi-factor authentication requirements. It's also available in session information, device manager, and reporting, giving IT more visibility into where connections originate and more control over how access is handled. That's a look at some of what's new in Parallels RAS 22. IT teams get more insight into the devices connecting to their environment, better oversight of remote sessions, and new ways to give users access to applications and files without adding unnecessary complexity.
