Why VDI?
VDI solutions offer several benefits to organizations, including improved security, centralized desktop management, and reduced IT overhead. Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS) makes VDI quick, easy, and affordable. It enables organizations to deliver fully functioning virtual Windows desktops and applications that employees need. Parallels RAS allows users to be productive anywhere by providing a Windows desktop–like experience on any device. Parallels RAS v16 adds significant enhancements to the VDI capabilities, now supporting even more hypervisors, including Nutanix Acropolis and HPE.

The easiest way to deliver and manage virtual Windows applications to any device!

Leader in Cost-Effective Application Delivery

Manage Microsoft RDS and VDI with ease while benefitting from a better mobile experience and also reducing costs.

Parallels RAS provides access to desktop applications as if they were native applications on iPhone®, iPad®, and Android devices, making your mobile employees truly productive. With Parallels RAS mobile clients, employees are able to use native iOS and Android controls to interact with desktop applications, and smart optimizations allow the use of desktop applications even on the small screens of mobile phones.

No third-party or expensive add-ons are needed; universal printer redirection, gateway high availability, reporting, and powerful load balancing are ready to use straight out of the box—from a central interface. IT staff can focus on core duties without dealing with unnecessary complexity.

Parallels Remote Application Server is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain. Complex administrative tasks are streamlined using wizards to provide administrators the most efficient path to application delivery, while a graphic editor allows visualization of the complete deployment and architecture blueprint. Setting up RDS servers, publishing virtual applications, and enrolling new users are all achieved in just a few clicks.

Parallels RAS is fully interoperable with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services™ (AWS). It supports Windows Server 2016 and all the improvements related to cloud integration.

Designed to be More Reliable, Easier, and Flexible

Application Publishing

Deliver applications to remote users and mobile devices in a seamless and easy-to-manage way. The user can continue to use the same files as if they were on their office workstation. Parallels RAS is easy to configure; with the drag-and-drop functionality, publishing an application is simple.

Regain up to 80% of the time normally used to configure and manage desktop clients. Parallels RAS allows you to transform any Windows client into a secure and fully managed workstation. Existing company computers can be used "as is," immediately delivering remote desktop and virtual applications.

Load balancing delivers high performance across your organization, allowing gateways and servers to work at high availability. Parallels RAS easily configures the infrastructure to your load needs by optimizing your resources.

Remote Desktop–VDI
Mix the most popular hypervisors with Parallels RAS to deliver seamless application virtualization and publish remote desktops. Manage virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) independently and easily.

Reporting
The Parallels RAS reporting tools provide an extensive overview of your infrastructure. Take advantage of real-time monitoring with hundreds of preconfigured reports, covering everything from applications to remote session activity. Support your team by anticipating when they will need you.

Universal Printing and Scanning
Allow your users to print and scan from any device: desktop, thin client, iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, or HTML5 browser. Universal Printing and Scanning is auto-configured, without any extra action required by the IT administrator. Users can print and scan on all available printers and scanners, without having to install a driver.
