Raspberry Pi runs Windows virtual apps and remote desktops

Raspberry Pi 2For the first time since the launch of Raspberry Pi in 2012, designers can have access to a Windows application or desktop remotely by using its RDP client that runs on Raspberry Pi’s native Linux OS.

US-based firm Parallels is offering client software that allows users to access their Windows applications and desktops remotely from the super low cost Raspberry Pi device.

The company will demonstrate at the Microsoft Ignite conference in Chicago 0n May 4-8 its 2X Remote Application Server (RAS) working with Raspberry Pi.

This potentially allows the Raspberry Pi ito be used as an operational workstation.

Parallels 2X marketing director Giorgio Bonuccelli writes:

“With more than five million units shipped since its 2012 launch, Raspberry Pi is the new kid on the IT block, but the use of this small and revolutionary device has been limited to Linux and web applications so far. Parallels 2X RAS offers the unique opportunity to deliver corporate Windows applications and remote desktops on this low-cost, credit-card-sized computer.”

Features of Parallels 2X RAS include:

  • Auto-configured features like printing redirection are standard.
  • Server load balancing distributes workload to servers based on available resources, improving performance and reliability.
  • Windows client management allows IT administrators to take control of Windows devices, set passwords, and shadow PCs to provide remote assistance.
  • Reporting allows an administrator to generate reports that monitor RDP and server activity, such as license usage, server activity, and more.
  • Gateway load balancing guarantees constant access to virtual resources by distributing connections between two or more gateways.

The RAS already supports  Chromebook notebook computers, Windows PCs, Mac computers, Linux workstations, Android and iOS devices, the Windows Phone, HTML5 browsers.
