Advantages

Cloud desktops bring huge advantages to organisations running live, instructor-led training. The real value becomes clear when delivering IT courses to participants spread across different locations.

Across Brazil, a growing number of companies have also chosen DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led training, because complex software applications can be pre-installed and configured so effortlessly, then quickly cloned to dozens or even hundreds of other cloud desktops.

Here’s why instructors, participants, and organisations pick DaDesktop to meet their training needs, and the benefits they’ve experienced.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-effective
  • DaDesktop is far more affordable than cloud machines from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop is built for short-term cloud desktop use rather than long-term hosting, it can offer a much simpler and cheaper pricing model.
• Scalable
  • Organisations rely on DaDesktop for IT training with large groups, effortlessly cloning a pre-configured desktop to well over 50 students at once, without any hiccups.
  • DaDesktop servers can store thousands of virtual machine images at any moment, letting you scale participant numbers far beyond a typical classroom.
• Fast
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are spun up in moments at the start of a session and shut down just as swiftly when it’s over.
  • Cloning a DaDesktop cloud desktop is over 100 times faster than doing the same with an AWS public-cloud machine or a classroom workstation.
• Convenient
  • A user-friendly interface lets you set up and tweak the learning environment on the fly, even once the class is underway.
• Extensible
  • DaDesktop offers a handy way to request new features.
  • DaDesktop comes with a public API and extensions for custom integrations with third-party systems like LDAP, OpenID-Connect, and LMS.
• Secure
  • User data isn’t stored on DaDesktop past the training session itself.
  • Every cloud desktop is designed as a temporary, self-contained environment.
• Accessible

Participants

• Convenient
  • Attendees can get into DaDesktop from their laptop or PC browser using just a URL from the instructor.
  • No software installation is needed—just log in and start working in a full Windows or Linux desktop right in the browser.
  • As soon as they join, participants have immediate access to all the tools, materials, and exercises the instructor has pre-loaded.
  • Switching the browser to "full-screen" mode makes the cloud OS feel like it’s running natively on their laptop, not just inside a browser tab.
  • Attendees can participate from their home or office, with no hassle.
