Advantages

A cloud desktop delivers substantial value to organizations aiming to conduct live, instructor-led training. These advantages are particularly evident when delivering IT training to participants located in various physical regions.

An increasing number of companies have selected DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led sessions, primarily because it allows complex software applications to be pre-installed and configured with ease. Once set up, these environments can be rapidly cloned to dozens or even hundreds of other cloud desktops.

Below is an overview of why instructors, participants, and organizations select DaDesktop for their training requirements, along with the specific benefits they have realized.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-Efficient
  • Adopting DaDesktop is considerably more affordable than utilizing cloud machines from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Since DaDesktop is designed for the short-term use of cloud desktops rather than long-term cloud machine hosting, it employs a much simpler and lower-cost pricing structure.
• Scalable
  • Companies utilize DaDesktop to deliver IT training to large cohorts, cloning a pre-configured cloud desktop to well over 50 students simultaneously without any technical issues.
  • DaDesktop servers can store thousands of virtual machine images at any given moment, enabling the scaling of course participant numbers far beyond the capacity of a standard classroom.
• Rapid Deployment
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are swiftly launched at the start of a training session and promptly shut down once the session concludes.
  • DaDesktop cloud desktops can be replicated more than 100 times faster than an AWS public-cloud machine or a typical classroom workstation.

• Fast
  • Instructors can spin up multiple cloud desktops for multiple participants simultaneously within seconds.
• Interactive
  • Instructors can not only view participants' desktops but also take control of them at any time, mirroring a live classroom experience.

Participants

• Convenient
  • Participants can access DaDesktop from a laptop or PC browser using only the URL provided by the instructor.
  • Participants are not required to install any software. They simply log in to DaDesktop and begin using the Windows or Linux OS desktop environment within their browser.
  • Upon joining a training session, participants have immediate access to all tools, materials, and exercises prepared by the instructor in advance.
  • When participants switch their browser to "full-screen" mode, the cloud Windows or Linux environment occupies the entire screen. This provides the feel of a full OS running on the user's laptop, rather than an environment nested within a browser.
  • Participants can engage in training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
