We start by discussing Parallels' core product, which still enables running Windows on Mac, but has expanded to support a variety of operating systems and use cases. Chris explains that Parallels is now part of the Alludo group, which also owns other well-known software brands like WinZip, MindManager, and Corel. The conversation then shifts to Parallels' remote application server (RAS) and desktop as a service (DaaS) offerings. RAS allows organizations to deliver virtualized applications and desktops to a wide range of devices, including mobile and web-based clients. It offers integration with various cloud providers and on-premises hypervisors, giving customers flexibility and choice. Meanwhile, DaaS is a cloud-hosted solution designed for simplicity, making it easier for organizations to transition to a hybrid work model without the need for extensive IT expertise. Chris also discusses the security features of Parallels' solutions, including built-in multi-factor authentication options and the ability to integrate with external identity providers. He explains how Parallels' products can be white-labeled and customized for managed service providers, allowing them to offer tailored solutions to their clients. The conversation also covers the technical aspects of Parallels' multi-tenancy capabilities, site and theme management, and the role of the tenant broker for larger deployments. Key Takeaways:
