Benefits

Cloud desktops offer tremendous advantages for businesses looking to run live, instructor-led training sessions. The perks become particularly evident when conducting IT courses with participants scattered across various locations.

An increasing number of organisations are also turning to DaDesktop for on-site, live, instructor-led training, thanks to how effortlessly complex software can be set up and configured beforehand, then swiftly duplicated onto dozens or hundreds of additional cloud desktops.

Read on to discover why instructors, participants, and businesses select DaDesktop for their training needs—and the advantages they've gained.
 

Organizations (companies, learning institutions, government)

• Cost-effective
  • DaDesktop costs considerably less compared to cloud instances from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
  • Since DaDesktop is designed for short-term desktop use rather than long-term hosting, it adopts a far simpler and more affordable pricing structure.

• Fast
  • With DaDesktop, cloud desktops boot up rapidly at session start and power down just as quickly when the training wraps up.

Participants

• Convenient
  • Participants join DaDesktop from any laptop or PC browser using just a link shared by the instructor.
