Benefits

Cloud desktop solutions offer substantial advantages to organizations aiming to deliver live, instructor-led training. These benefits become particularly evident when conducting IT training courses for participants located in various geographical areas.

An increasing number of enterprises have adopted DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led training, driven by the ability to pre-install and configure complex software applications with ease, then rapidly clone them across dozens or hundreds of additional cloud desktops.

The following points highlight why instructors, participants, and organizations select DaDesktop for their training requirements, along with the benefits they have realized.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-Effective
  • Leveraging DaDesktop is substantially more affordable than utilizing cloud infrastructure from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop is optimized for short-term cloud desktop usage rather than long-term machine hosting, it utilizes a much simpler and lower-cost pricing structure.
• Scalable
  • Enterprises utilize DaDesktop to deliver IT training to large cohorts, cloning pre-configured cloud desktops to support well over 50 students simultaneously, without any disruption.
  • DaDesktop servers can maintain thousands of virtual machine images at any given moment, enabling the participant count to scale far beyond the capacity of a standard classroom.
• Fast
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are rapidly provisioned at the start of a training session and efficiently decommissioned once the session concludes.
  • DaDesktop cloud desktops can be cloned more than 100 times faster than public-cloud instances from AWS or traditional classroom workstations.
• Convenient
  • An intuitive interface facilitates on-the-fly setup and adjustment of the learning environment, even after the class has commenced.
• Extensible
  • DaDesktop offers a streamlined channel for requesting new features.
  • DaDesktop supports a public API and extensions, enabling custom integration with third-party systems such as LDAP, OpenID-Connect, and LMS platforms.
• Secure
  • No user data is retained on DaDesktop beyond the duration of a training session.
  • Each cloud desktop is designed as a transient, self-contained computing environment.
• Accessible
  • There is no need to request permission from the IT department to allow software to bypass company firewalls.
  • The full Windows or Linux OS desktop environment is accessible via the browser, eliminating the need for plugin installations.
• Public, Private, and On-Premise
  • DaDesktop can be accessed via public or private servers, offering users varying levels of exclusivity.

  • Additionally, DaDesktop can be deployed on-premise within the customer's own data center.

Instructors

• Convenient
  • Instructors can provision as many cloud desktops as required, assigning one desktop per participant for use throughout the training session.
  • Instructors can pre-install and configure a single cloud desktop with the necessary software and OS settings, then simply clone that environment to as many participants as needed. This prevents valuable time from being spent troubleshooting setups during class.
  • Instructors can conduct training sessions using only a browser on a laptop, from the comfort of their home or office.
• Fast
  • Instructors can spin up multiple cloud desktops for numerous participants simultaneously, within seconds.
• Interactive
  • Instructors can view participants' desktops and also take control of them at any time, replicating the dynamics of a live classroom setting.
• Recordable
  • Trainers can record their entire training session to share with participants afterwards.

  • Recorded sessions can be reviewed by the instructor as feedback to improve future course delivery.

Participants

• Convenient
  • Participants can access DaDesktop from their laptop or PC browser using nothing more than a URL provided by the instructor.
  • Participants do not need to install any software. They simply log into DaDesktop and begin using the Windows or Linux OS desktop environment from within their browser.
  • Upon entering a training session, participants have immediate access to all the tools, materials, and exercises that the instructor prepared in advance.
  • When participants switch their browser to "full-screen" mode, the cloud Windows or Linux environment takes over the entire screen. This ensures it does not feel like an OS nested within a browser, but rather like a full OS running on the user's laptop.
  • Participants can complete training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
