Remote PC pools

Remote PC pools is a Parallels RAS feature that allows you to create pools of standalone (preferably domain-joined) PCs and optionally assign them to specific users. The Remote PC pools functionality is integrated into RAS VDI to take advantage of the infrastructure that already handles host pools.

Remote PC pools vs. Remote PCs

Remote PCs are standalone machines (physical or virtual) that can be used to host published resources in Parallels RAS. Remote PCs are managed in the Parallels RAS Console in the Farm > <Site> > Remote PCs section. The Remote PCs chapter describes this functionality in detail. Remote PC pools described here are handled separately and differently from standalone Remote PCs. They are managed in the Farm > <Site> > VDI section of the RAS Console.
