• Lower Your Costs and Increase Your Margin

Operating as a service provider reduces gross margin as you are faced with a number of variable costs. IT resellers need to invest in customer support and administration, hardware, datacenter infrastructure, application delivery solutions, third-party licenses, as well as general and administration overheads. Each of these recurring costs eats into your margin. Compared to other application delivery solutions, Parallels RAS lowers TCO and can increase your net profit by over 50%.

• Parallels Understands Your Business

Parallels knows that you have many customers with different needs and requirements, and that you have to respond to them quickly and efficiently to be successful. The Parellels RAS auto-configuration wizards reduce the rollout time, making your services available to clients in a few hours instead of days of weeks.

Parallels RAS offers pre-configured templates that allow you to plan and schedule the maintenance, reducing or completely eliminating the need for service interruption.
