Advantages

Organizations seeking to provide live, instructor-led training find cloud desktops to be highly advantageous. This approach is particularly effective when delivering IT training courses to learners spread across various physical locations.

A growing number of companies have also chosen DaDesktop for on-site, live, instructor-led sessions. This is largely due to the ease with which complex software applications can be pre-installed and configured, then rapidly and seamlessly replicated across dozens or even hundreds of cloud desktops.

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

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-efficient
  • Leveraging DaDesktop is far more affordable than utilizing cloud machines from providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop specializes in the short-term utilization of cloud desktops rather than long-term cloud machine hosting, a streamlined and budget-friendly pricing model can be implemented.
• Scalability
  • Businesses utilize DaDesktop to deliver IT training to large cohorts, successfully cloning pre-configured cloud desktops for more than 50 students simultaneously without any issues.
  • DaDesktop servers are capable of storing thousands of virtual machine images concurrently, enabling the expansion of course capacity well beyond the limits of a standard classroom.
• Speed
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops are provisioned rapidly at the start of a training session and decommissioned swiftly upon its conclusion.

Participants

• Convenience
  • 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 interacting with the Windows or Linux OS desktop environment directly from their browser.
  • Upon joining a training session, participants have immediate access to all the tools, materials, and exercises that the instructor has prepared 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 nested within a browser, providing the experience of a full operating system running on their laptop.
  • Participants can engage in training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
