Functionality
Parallels VDI leverages OS level virtualization from its Parallels Virtuozzo Containers product to provide an efficient infrastructure. Containers provide a balance and the benefits of both ends of the VDI technology spectrum. Parallels VDI achieves Terminal Services type desktop image density, and the isolation and customization attained with hypervisors.[1]
- Multiple desktops in isolated containers per physical server and OS instance – up to 140 desktops per server
- Custom desktop resources and access
- Management tools to “template” and produce desktops in seconds
- Single OS instance eliminating redundant layers of processing and memory usage
- System-wide standardized OS and application levels and the ability to update system wide
- Single OS instance ensures lockdown of desktop images
- Automated application provisioning that can be deployed with a single click
- Complete management toolset with backup tool included
- Active Directory integration
- Familiar Windows XP look and feel
- Desktop footprint minimal, less than 50 MB of storage
- Change all resources including hard drive and memory without a desktop reboot
