Key Advantages

Cloud desktops offer significant value to organizations aiming to deliver live, instructor-led training. This advantage is particularly evident when delivering IT training to participants located in various physical sites.

An increasing number of businesses are selecting DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led training. This is largely due to the seamless process of pre-installing and configuring complex software applications, which can then be rapidly cloned to dozens or even hundreds of cloud desktops.

The following sections outline why instructors, participants, and organizations choose DaDesktop for their training requirements, along with the specific benefits they experience.
 

Organizations (enterprises, educational institutions, government agencies)

• Cost-Efficiency
  • Utilizing DaDesktop is substantially more cost-effective than employing cloud machines from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Because DaDesktop focuses on the short-term usage of cloud desktops rather than long-term hosting of cloud machines, a simpler and more affordable pricing model can be applied.

  • DaDesktop servers can accommodate thousands of virtual machine images at any given moment, allowing for scaling the number of course participants far beyond the capacity of a traditional classroom.

Participants

• Convenience
  • Participants can access DaDesktop from their laptop or PC browser using only a URL provided by the instructor.
  • Participants do not need to install any software. They simply log in to DaDesktop and begin using the Windows or Linux OS desktop environment directly from their browser.
  • Upon entering a training session, participants have immediate access to all the 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 ensures the experience feels like a full-fledged OS running on the user's laptop, rather than an OS nested within a browser.
  • Participants can conduct training sessions from the comfort of their home or office.
