IGEL and Parallels, part of Alludo, announced the availability of Parallels RAS on the IGEL App Portal.
Parallels RAS, which provides the robust delivery of virtual desktops and apps to any device, anywhere, anytime, has been validated via the IGEL Ready technology partner program for use on IGEL OS-powered devices. As a result, it is now available via the new IGEL App Portal Cloud Service for fast, efficient app delivery to IGEL OS-powered devices.
"Together, IGEL OS and Parallels RAS create a comprehensive and secure virtualization and endpoint management solution," said Jim Airdo, SVP, Strategic Alliances, IGEL. "By making Parallels RAS available via the IGEL App Portal, we are enabling our customers to benefit from the full power of Parallels RAS for remote and hybrid work environments with cloud-direct download efficiency."
"Through the IGEL App Portal, Parallels RAS users have greater accessibility to a powerful combined solution that enhances endpoint security, extends the life of endpoint hardware, lowers endpoint management overhead and reduces end user computing costs," said Prashant Ketkar, Chief Technology & Product Officer at Parallels. "As a result, our mutual customers have ready access to the latest Parallels RAS releases via a convenient cloud service, so that they can better empower their remote and hybrid workers with access to the secure virtual apps and desktops they need to power productivity."
Parallels RAS delivers simplified management and administration of virtual apps and desktops while lowering end user computing costs. Bridging on-premises and multi-cloud solutions into a centralized management console for administrators and a secure virtual work environment for end users, it is the ideal digital workspace for the future of work.
Parallels RAS has been validated for use on IGEL OS-powered devices as part of the IGEL Ready partner program and is now available in the IGEL App Portal as part of IGEL's cloud services. As a result, Parallels RAS is available as a service to provide enterprises with faster, more timely application availability and seamless updates for extensive IT efficiency gains and a superior digital experience (DEX) for end users.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
