Parallels Desktop for Mac

We use Parallels Remote Application Server to allow organizational access to traditional and legacy Win32 style applications. This would include legacy ERP software, older Microsoft Access front ends, and more. Generally, as Remote Desktop Services environment, with significant quality of life enhancements over Microsoft's basic implementation, such as web-based administration and easier delegation of administrative tasks.

• Easier to Monitor and Administer than RDS, reducing admin time
• Does require periodic maintenance windows to upgrade the farm
• User/Device policies for client control allow for granular experience administration
• We actually can get support, which can be very challenging for Microsoft Native RDS.

Remote access to legacy server based applications is a real challenge that we were able to securely address using Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS). The performance was great and our user base appreciates the ease of use. For the investment, Parallels has completely met our needs and we would enthusiastically recommend Parallels for any organization who needs to securely provide remote access to applications. We have also used Parallels Remote Applications Server (Parrallels RAS) to run Windows based apps on Apple laptops.

• Addressed the need to remotely access legacy systems without having to migrate to new systems
• allowed or organization to access Windows based applications on Apple laptops removing the need to migrate to a new application
• One of our internal applications experiences slow performance when the application had to traverse several network hops. We used Parallels to run the application directly on the sever, which addressed the issue and removed the need to migrate to a new application.
