Parallels RAS Virtualized Applications

Virtualized Applications are accessible to all students at all times and there are no associated scheduling limitations.  Unlike the Secure Remote Desktop, which relies on connecting to a physical computer remotely, Virtualized Applications use the computing resources in I&ITS' data centre.

For Virtualized Apps Access

The Parallels RAS client app MUST be installed on your personal computer in order to use Virtualized Applications. 

See I&ITS's Knowledge Base articles for instructions on how to download and install:

  • Parallels Client on Windows 
  • Parallels Client on Mac 

    To access Virtualized Apps: 

    1. Use your UTORid and password to login to Parallels RAS

    2. DUO authentication (Multifactor Authentication) is required for Parallels Login.  Approve your login through the DUO app on your phone or mobile device to complete the login process.
