Parallels RAS enables us to deploy our business applications at a global scale with minimal management required.
Perform all management tasks through the Parallels RAS management console. Deploy servers, publish applications, monitor resources, manage devices, offer helpdesk assistance, and define security policies – all from one console. The web-based management portal enhances mobility, enabling administrators to work on the go.
Wizard-based deployments allow you to effortlessly publish and manage a wide range of applications and desktops with an intuitive publishing wizard. Automatically generate and deploy configurable Parallels RAS templates for VDI and RDSH on Nutanix AHV.
You can also manage any user sessions from RDSH and VDIs through the Parallels RAS Console. This allows your helpdesk to assist users by addressing unresponsive processes, including terminating them, disconnecting, logging off, or sending a message.
Parallels RAS provides multitenancy support, enabling different tenants to share access layers such as Secure Client Gateways and High Availability Load Balancers (HALBs) while keeping data segregated and reducing operational costs.
Parallels RAS offers a perfect blend of application and desktop delivery on Nutanix, providing a comprehensive, secure and resilient end-to-end delivery solution.
Complex and repetitive tasks can be automated using REST-API and PowerShell cmdlets to enable easier integration with scheduling and workflow applications into the Parallels RAS ecosystem. Automation requirements can be combined with Nutanix Intelligent Operations for enhanced controls.
Easy to deploy, configure and maintain, Parallels RAS enables organizations to reduce IT complexity while improving staff and users productivity. The Parallels RAS single license model includes all capabilities out-of-the-box and provides enterprise-range features such as application with VDI delivery, load balancing, multi-cloud, and 24/7 customer support.
Wizard-based learning built into the management console means minimal knowledge is required to configure and manage the infrastructure, thereby reducing the learning curve. Full training on Parallels RAS is provided free of charge with no expensive add-ons. It does not require third-party add-ons for load balancing, printing redirection, monitoring, reporting, and more.
Repetitive processes can be configured and automated for cost-savings with power management, automated management, automated image optimization, autoscaling, and consolidated access for multiple customers by using multi-tenancy capabilities.
And, with a concurrent user licensing model, you can establish any number of connections to Parallels RAS for as long as the number of users simultaneously accessing Parallels RAS does not exceed the number of available licenses.
Nutanix and Parallels RAS reduce the challenge of unpredictable operations and difficult capacity planning with industry-validated linear growth and consistent performance. This allows your IT team to spend less time on management and more time on high-value projects. Together with the Nutanix flexible per-user subscription, you can price match infrastructure consumption to per-user models and calculate all-inclusive costs per user from top to bottom.
