Advantages

Cloud desktops offer significant advantages for organizations running live, instructor-led training sessions. This is especially true for IT courses that bring together learners from many different places.

An increasing number of companies also rely on DaDesktop for in-person, instructor-led training, thanks to how effortlessly you can pre-install and configure sophisticated software, then clone it to tens or hundreds of additional cloud desktops in a flash.

Here’s a look at why instructors, learners, and organizations pick DaDesktop and the advantages they enjoy.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Budget-friendly
  • DaDesktop costs far less than comparable cloud machines from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop is built for short-term desktop use rather than ongoing cloud hosting, it can offer a simpler, more affordable pricing approach.
• Highly scalable
  • Businesses rely on DaDesktop to run IT training for large groups, cloning a ready-to-go cloud desktop to over 50 learners simultaneously without any issues.
  • DaDesktop servers can store thousands of VM images at once, letting you scale course sizes far beyond a traditional classroom.
• Speedy
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are provisioned in moments when a session starts and torn down just as fast when it ends.
  • Cloning a DaDesktop cloud desktop is over 100 times faster than with an AWS public cloud instance or a physical classroom workstation.
• Easy to use
  • A user-friendly interface lets you set up and tweak the learning environment on the fly—even mid-class.
• Extensible
  • DaDesktop offers a straightforward way to request additional features.
  • DaDesktop comes with a public API and extensions for custom integrations with systems like LDAP, OpenID-Connect, and LMS.
• Secure
  • User data is never stored on DaDesktop past the end of a training session.
  • Every cloud desktop is meant to be a temporary, self-contained computing environment.
• Easy to access
  • You don’t need to get IT permission to let software through the corporate firewall.
  • The full Windows or Linux desktop runs right in the browser—no plugins required.
• Public, Private, and On-premises Deployment
  • DaDesktop can run on a public or private server, giving you varying degrees of privacy and exclusivity.

Participants

• Simple
