Advantages

Cloud desktops offer substantial advantages to organizations aiming to deliver live, instructor-led training. These benefits are particularly evident when conducting IT training courses for multiple participants located in various geographic areas.

An increasing number of companies have opted for DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led training, largely due to the simplicity of pre-installing and configuring complex software applications. This setup can then be rapidly cloned to dozens or even hundreds of other cloud desktops.

The following outlines key reasons why instructors, participants, and organizations select DaDesktop for their training requirements, along with the specific benefits they have realized.
 

Organizations (corporations, educational institutions, government bodies)

• Cost-Efficiency
  • Utilizing DaDesktop is considerably more affordable compared to employing cloud machines from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Since DaDesktop specializes in short-term cloud desktop usage rather than long-term cloud machine hosting, it employs a significantly simpler and lower-cost pricing model.
• Scalability
  • Businesses leverage DaDesktop to deliver IT training to large groups by cloning a pre-configured cloud desktop to more than 50 students simultaneously, ensuring seamless performance.
  • DaDesktop servers are capable of storing thousands of virtual machine images at any given moment, enabling the scale of course participants to exceed the capacity of a standard classroom.

Participants

• Convenience
  • Participants can access DaDesktop from their laptop or PC browser using only the 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 within their browser.
  • Upon joining a training session, participants gain 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 eliminates the feeling of an OS environment nested within a browser, providing the experience of a full OS running on the user's laptop.
  • Participants can conduct training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
