"A main factor that precipitated our switch to Parallels RAS was the ability to have user-friendly access to employees, whether they are working in office or remotely."

Consiglio regionale dell'Abruzzo is a regional public institution that employs 120 people and oversees legislative activities. They’re located in L'Aquila, Italy, and operate primarily in Italy and other parts of Europe.

The institution was using a virtual private network (VPN) as the primary way to establish a protected network connection while using private networks, especially among remote employees.

The ChallengeGreater versatility for remote workers and easy remote access

Consiglio regionale dell'Abruzzo used this solution until January 2020, at which point they realized they needed a new technical solution. Their goal was to find a solution that would accomplish three things:

  • Provide greater versatility for remote employees to access their desktops from anywhere, using any device.
  • Enable remote employees to easily connect to the organization’s network at any time.
  • Ensure user-friendly access.

The TestWill Parallel RAS offer greater versatility, enable remote learning, and ensure user friendly access?

Consiglio regionale dell'Abruzzo tried using Parallels RAS’ virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in place of their old technical solution.

The hope was that the capabilities of Parallels RAS for remote desktop services and the cloud could simplify and streamline their process. In addition, they sought to use Parallel’s high availability load balancing (HALB) feature and multi-factor authentication.

An employee from Consiglio regionale dell'Abruzzo encountered a Parallels employee, who introduced them to Parallels RAS. The decision was soon made by the institution to migrate to this powerful virtualization solution.

The SolutionParallels RAS chosen for user-friendly access

The main factor that precipitated the switch was how Parallels RAS provides user-friendly access to employees, whether they are working in-office or remotely.

Consiglio regionale dell'Abruzzo has been using Parallels RAS since 2021. The organization uses the solution’s virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) capabilities for remote desktop services and as a private cloud solution. They also use the high availability load balancing (HALB) feature as well as multi-factor authentication in their day-to-day business.

Parallels RAS is accessed through PCs, Mac computers, smartphones, and tablets.
