“Anywhere, any-device” access is the new mantra being sung these days by any respectable mobile-first, cloud-based software application company. News of Parallels’ Remote Application Server for providing a competitive option to Citrix XenApp, VMWare Horizon, among others, wasn’t all that surprising but nevertheless very refreshing to hear.

The company has been a global leader in virtualizing the Windows operating system on Apple Macintosh computers.

Accessing Windows Apps

Parallels Remote Application Server v15 is being touted as the easiest and most cost-effective solution for both small and large businesses, delivering Windows applications and desktops to employees on any device, anywhere in the world.
