Benefits

Cloud desktops offer substantial advantages for organizations that aim to deliver live, instructor-led training. These benefits become especially apparent when conducting IT training sessions for a geographically dispersed group of learners.

An increasing number of companies have turned to DaDesktop for in-person, instructor-led training as well, thanks to the ease with which intricate software can be pre-installed and configured, then rapidly duplicated across dozens or even hundreds of cloud desktops.

Here are a few of the key factors why trainers, trainees, and organizations select DaDesktop for their training needs, along with the advantages they have gained.
 

Organizations (businesses, academic institutions, public agencies)

• Cost-efficient
  • DaDesktop is considerably more affordable compared to cloud instances from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop focuses on short-term cloud desktop usage rather than long-term hosting, it employs a far simpler and more cost-effective pricing structure.
• Scalable
  • Organizations use DaDesktop to run IT training for large groups, cloning a pre-configured desktop to over 50 learners at a time, all without any issues.
  • DaDesktop servers can hold thousands of virtual machine images at any given moment, making it possible to scale the number of course participants far beyond the typical classroom capacity.
• Fast
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are quickly launched at the start of a training session and promptly shut down once it ends.
  • DaDesktop cloud desktops can be replicated over 100 times faster than a typical AWS public-cloud instance or classroom workstation.
• Convenient
  • The intuitive interface enables real-time configuration and adjustments to the learning environment, even after a class has begun.
• Extensible
  • DaDesktop provides a straightforward channel for requesting new features.
  • DaDesktop supports a public API and extensions that allow for custom integration with third-party systems such as LDAP, OpenID-Connect, and LMS.
• Secure
  • User data is not retained on DaDesktop beyond the training session's duration.
  • Each cloud desktop is designed to be a temporary, self-contained computing environment.
• Accessible
  • There is no need to seek IT department approval for software to bypass the corporate firewall.
  • The complete Windows or Linux desktop environment is accessible directly in the browser, without any plugin installations.
• Public, Private, and On-premises
  • DaDesktop can be accessed via a public or private server, providing varying degrees of exclusivity.

  • DaDesktop can also be deployed on-premises in the customer's own data center.

• Fast
  • Multiple cloud desktops for multiple trainees can be launched simultaneously in just seconds.
• Interactive
  • Trainers can not only view trainees' screens but also take control at any moment, mirroring the interactive feel of a physical classroom.

Trainees

• Convenient
  • Trainees can access DaDesktop from their laptop or PC browser using nothing more than a URL shared by the instructor.
  • No software installation is needed. Trainees simply log in to DaDesktop and immediately start using a full Windows or Linux desktop environment through their browser.
  • Upon joining a session, trainees instantly gain access to all the tools, materials, and exercises pre-arranged by the instructor.
  • When the browser is switched to “full-screen” mode, the cloud desktop occupies the entire display, creating the seamless feel of a native operating system rather than a nested application.
  • Trainees can participate in sessions from the comfort of their own home or office.
