Benefits

Cloud desktops offer massive advantages to organisations that want to conduct live, instructor-led training. These benefits truly stand out when running IT courses for participants who are scattered across multiple physical locations.

A growing number of businesses are also opting for DaDesktop for local, live, instructor-led training – the ease of pre-installing and configuring complex software, then cloning it to dozens or even hundreds of cloud desktops, makes it ideal.

Here's a look at why instructors, participants, and organisations pick DaDesktop for their training requirements and the advantages they’ve gained.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-effective
  • Working with DaDesktop is far more economical compared to using cloud resources from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Since DaDesktop is designed for short-term desktop usage rather than long-term hosting, it can offer a simpler, lower-cost pricing structure.
• Scalable
  • Businesses rely on DaDesktop to run IT training for large groups, cloning a pre-configured cloud desktop to over 50 learners in one go, seamlessly.
  • DaDesktop servers can store thousands of virtual machine images at once, so you can easily scale your course size far beyond a typical classroom setting.
• Fast
  • Cloud desktops on DaDesktop are up and running in moments at the start of a session and shut down just as quickly once it’s over.
  • DaDesktop can clone cloud desktops over 100 times faster than an AWS public cloud machine or a traditional classroom workstation.
• Convenient
  • The intuitive interface lets you set up and tweak the learning environment on the fly, even mid-session.
• Extensible
  • DaDesktop offers a handy way to request new features.
  • DaDesktop comes with a public API and extensions that let you integrate with third-party systems like LDAP, OpenID-Connect and LMS.
• Secure
  • User data doesn’t linger on DaDesktop after the session ends—it’s wiped clean.
  • Every cloud desktop is built as a temporary, self-contained computing space.
• Accessible
  • There’s no need to get IT clearance for software to go through the company firewall.
  • The full Windows or Linux desktop environment runs directly in your browser—no plugins needed.
• Public, Private and On-premise
  • DaDesktop can run on a public or private server, giving you varying degrees of exclusivity.

  • DaDesktop can also be installed on-premise, right in your own datacenter.

Instructors

• Convenient
  • An instructor can launch any number of cloud desktops, giving each participant their own for the entire session.
  • The instructor sets up one cloud desktop with all the required software and OS settings, then clones it instantly for all participants—so no classroom time is lost fiddling with configurations.
  • Training can be delivered straight from a browser on the instructor’s laptop, whether at home or in the office.
• Fast
  • Multiple cloud desktops for multiple participants can be up and running simultaneously, in just seconds.
• Interactive
  • Just like in a physical classroom, instructors can view and take control of participants' desktops at any moment.
• Recordable
  • Trainers can record the full session to share later with participants.

  • Instructors can also review the recording themselves as feedback to refine future deliveries.

Participants

• Convenient
  • Participants just need a laptop or PC and the instructor’s URL—nothing more.
  • There’s no software to install. They log into DaDesktop and start using a Windows or Linux environment right inside their browser.
  • As soon as the session begins, all the tools, materials, and exercises prepared by the instructor are instantly available.
  • Switching the browser to full-screen mode makes the cloud OS fill the entire display, so it feels like a native desktop operating system rather than something inside a browser.
  • Participants can join from home or the office, comfortably.
