Benefits

Adopting a cloud desktop solution delivers substantial advantages to organizations aiming to provide live, instructor-led training. These benefits are particularly evident when conducting IT courses for participants located in various physical regions.

A growing number of companies have selected DaDesktop for localized, live, instructor-led training sessions. This choice is driven by the simplicity of pre-installing and configuring complex software applications, which can then be rapidly cloned to dozens or even hundreds of additional cloud desktops.

The following points outline why instructors, participants, and organizations opt for DaDesktop to meet their training requirements, along with the specific benefits they have realized.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-effective
  • Leveraging DaDesktop is significantly more affordable compared to utilizing cloud machines from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Since DaDesktop focuses on short-term cloud desktop usage rather than long-term virtual machine hosting, it enables a much simpler and cost-efficient pricing model.
• Scalable
  • Enterprises utilize DaDesktop to deliver IT training to large groups, successfully cloning a pre-configured cloud desktop for more than 50 students simultaneously without any issues.
  • DaDesktop servers can store thousands of virtual machine images concurrently, allowing the number of course participants to scale well beyond the capacity of a standard physical classroom.
• Fast
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are rapidly deployed at the start of a training session and efficiently shut down once the session concludes.
  • Cloud desktops on DaDesktop can be cloned over 100 times faster than AWS public-cloud machines or traditional classroom workstations.

Participants

• Convenient
  • Participants can access DaDesktop from their 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 utilizing 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, providing the feeling of a full operating system running on the laptop rather than a nested environment within a browser.
  • Participants can engage in training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
