Parallels has announced that Parallels RAS (Remote Application Server) is now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. This allows Parallels customers to benefit from the efficient and reliable Azure cloud platform, with simplified deployment and management.

As organizations continue to navigate an evolving landscape, the demand for solutions supporting remote workforces and efficient application delivery has never been higher. Parallels RAS represents one such solution, and now that it can be purchased and deployed through Microsoft Azure Marketplace, additional options emerge for partners to extend this delivery to customers wishing to better deploy and manage their remote desktop and application infrastructure.

“With Parallels RAS now available in the Azure Marketplace, organizations worldwide can experience enhanced accessibility,” said Prashant Ketkar, Chief Product and Technology Officer for Parallels. “Listing Parallels RAS as a managed app alongside the existing BYOL options, simplifies the deployment process, making it easier for organizations to find, adopt, and integrate Parallels RAS directly from the Azure Marketplace. This move optimizes operations and removes barriers to adoption, ensuring a smoother and more efficient implementation.”

Deploying Parallels RAS within Azure Marketplace offers a significant advantage: complete automation. This streamlined process handles the initial setup of a full Parallels RAS infrastructure in the customer’s Azure subscription. It automates the deployment of infrastructure components, such as Connection Brokers, Secure Gateways, and Load Balancers, all customizable to the user’s preferences.

Furthermore, integration with Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) can automatically be configured. This allows organizations to jump start their Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, take advantage of all the benefits Azure Virtual Desktop provides, and get all the enhancements Parallels RAS bring to this platform.

During the automated deployment, a new pay-as-you-go license is configured, meaning there is no need to buy Parallels RAS licenses separately. With an Azure Marketplace deployment of Parallels RAS, organizations automatically pay for usage based on the highest concurrency each month, billed through Azure Marketplace.

Additionally, customers may be eligible to debit their existing Microsoft cloud commitment to purchase offers like this in Azure Marketplace. This alignment with existing cloud consumption commitments provides businesses with an incentive to leverage Parallels RAS on Microsoft Azure, optimizing IT spending while benefiting from its advanced features.

Tailored, private offers by partners

With Parallels RAS now available as a transactable solution within the Azure Marketplace, partners, such as Cloud Solution Providers, can now work together with Parallels to create unique offers for their customers and help promote revenue growth. A Multi-Party Private Offer (MPO) allows partners to create personalized offers, provide added value, add custom payouts, and sell directly to Microsoft customers with simplified selling through the marketplace.

A suggested private offer could be an extended offer with Parallels RAS as the secure application and desktop delivery solution, included with professional services for migration, consultancy and IT training from value-added partners.

Jake Zborowski, General Manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp., said, “We welcome Parallels RAS to Azure Marketplace, where global customers can find, try, and buy from among thousands of partner solutions. Thanks to trusted partners like Parallels, Azure Marketplace is part of a cloud marketplace landscape predicted to grow revenue 500% from 2022 to 2025.

The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed solutions that are ready to use.
