Partner
One Parallels team, from design to day-two support
Choosing a Parallels partner Dubai businesses can work with every day means looking beyond licences. You need an architecture that fits the hypervisors and clouds you already run, users who can open their apps from any device without a help-desk ticket, and security that holds up under regional regulation.
Raidefend is the Parallels partner UAE organisations use to publish Windows applications and desktops from on-premises, Azure Virtual Desktop and AWS through one console. We also support teams in the Kingdom, working as the Parallels partner Saudi programmes lean on for data-residency-aware, Arabic-ready delivery.
- Sizing and architecture that fit your existing infrastructure, no lock-in
- Secure Gateway, MFA and policy filters set up for real users and contractors
- Security hardening and monitoring built into every rollout, not added at the end

Markets
Delivery that fits each market
Three markets, three sets of rules. As the Parallels partner Saudi and UAE businesses trust, we plan for each one.
Dubai: fast-moving and close to decision-makers
Many regional IT, finance and operations teams are based in Dubai, so discovery workshops are quick to schedule and pilots move fast. Teams comparing the best Parallels partner Dubai has to offer usually weigh three things: how quickly users get working, how reachable the team is after go-live, and how seriously security is treated.
- On-site or online workshops, proof of concept in days rather than weeks
- Weekly demos so stakeholders see published apps running on their devices
- Hardening review and penetration test before every production release
UAE: one workspace across every emirate
Users in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates expect the same experience as Dubai, in Arabic and English. If you are looking for the best Parallels partner UAE wide, ask how they handle personal data under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, and how they keep multi-site farms consistent as you grow.
As a Parallels partner UAE programmes can scale with, we design multi-site Parallels RAS farms so a new office or emirate plugs in without a rebuild.
- Multi-site farms with High Availability Load Balancing and Secure Gateways
- Session logging and MFA policies aligned with the UAE PDPL
- Arabic keyboard, locale and printing redirection tested before launch
Saudi Arabia: growth at scale, with local rules built in
Digital workspace programmes in the Kingdom need to meet the Personal Data Protection Law and the National Cybersecurity Authority's Essential Cybersecurity Controls. Shortlisting the best Parallels partner Saudi Arabia has to offer? Ask for proof of how they design for those requirements, not only a promise.
For every Parallels partner Saudi engagement, we start with a requirements workshop covering hosting location, identity, access and audit needs.
- In-Kingdom hosting on your own data centre or local cloud region
- Access controls, auditing and encryption mapped to PDPL and NCA ECC
- Data residency decided before the architecture is fixed
Process
How a Parallels project runs with Raidefend
Every Parallels project follows the same four steps. As a Parallels partner UAE wide, we use them in every market.
Discover
We map applications, users, devices, infrastructure and risks, then agree what success looks like for your teams.
Architect
We design sites, gateways, load balancing, identity and the security model, and confirm the plan with your stakeholders.
Deploy and integrate
We build in short cycles with regular demos, testing performance, peripherals and security as we go.
Secure and support
After launch we monitor, patch and tune, and train your administrators to run Parallels themselves.

Tell us your applications, users and where your data must live. As the Parallels partner Dubai teams can reach easily, we reply with a clear scope, sizing and plan.
Parallels RAS (Remote Application Server)
Parallels RAS delivers virtual applications and desktops to any device from a single console, with Secure Gateway, High Availability Load Balancing, reporting and MFA included in one concurrent-user licence.
What a typical engagement covers
- Farm, site and session-host design on Hyper-V, VMware, Nutanix, Scale or cloud
- Application publishing, FSLogix profiles and MSIX App Attach
- Secure Gateway, SSL/TLS 1.3 with FIPS 140-2, MFA and rule-based access filters
- SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Ping Identity
- Monitoring, auditing and user forensics for compliance teams
Good fit when you deliver Windows apps to a mixed fleet, or when a Citrix or Horizon renewal is due and you want simpler licensing, which is where a Parallels partner UAE wide saves months of work.
Parallels DaaS
Parallels DaaS is a cloud-native Desktop as a Service that extends Azure Virtual Desktop. You connect your own Azure subscription, a Parallels Secure Gateway runs in your environment, and session and profile data stay in your tenant.
What a typical engagement covers
- Azure landing zone, UAE North or other regional hosting, ExpressRoute or VPN connectivity
- Image templates, non-persistent desktops and VM scheduling to cut cloud spend
- Microsoft Entra ID authentication and Microsoft Teams offload
- Access via browser or the Windows App on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and thin clients
- Monitoring, outage alerts and cost reporting
Good fit when you want desktops without on-premises VDI hardware. A Parallels partner UAE finance teams trust will start with a cost model that compares DaaS with your current estate.
Parallels Secure Workspace
A zero trust, browser-based workspace that brings Windows and Linux apps and desktops, SaaS single sign-on, internal web apps and file servers such as SharePoint and OneDrive into one place, with nothing installed on the device.
What a typical engagement covers
- Virtual appliance deployment on your hypervisor or cloud, with multi-tenancy for MSPs
- Built-in TOTP/HOTP MFA, SAML or OpenID with Entra ID, Okta or Google
- Geo and IP safety zones, session recording and anomaly detection
- Per-group controls for printing, downloads and session sharing
- SIEM integration with Splunk or Elasticsearch
Good fit for VPN replacement, BYOD and contractor access. A Parallels partner Saudi programme should also plan geo-fencing and audit retention for the Kingdom.
Parallels Browser Isolation
Web content renders in a remote, isolated container and only a safe visual stream reaches the user, creating an air gap between browsing and your corporate network. It is agentless, so it works on managed and unmanaged devices.
What a typical engagement covers
- Cloud-hosted or Private Access (self-hosted container) deployment
- Zero trust policy templates: geography, time of day, copy, print, file transfer and watermarking
- Publishing SaaS, cloud and internal web apps to contractors and vendors
- Real-time dashboards and historical activity records for audits
Good fit for regulated industries and third-party access. A Parallels partner Saudi regulators and auditors recognise should document every policy decision for review.
Parallels Desktop for Mac — Business and Enterprise Edition
Run Windows, Linux and legacy line-of-business applications on Intel and Apple silicon Macs with a Microsoft-authorised solution for Windows 11 on Arm, managed centrally for the whole fleet.
What a typical engagement covers
- Volume licensing, licence portal and renewals for business and enterprise fleets
- Mass deployment through Jamf, Intune or other MDM tools
- Pre-configured, locked-down Windows images and corporate policies
- User onboarding, support playbooks and upgrade planning
Good fit when designers, developers or finance teams on Macs still need Windows-only tools, a common ask for a Parallels partner UAE companies with mixed fleets work with.
Azure Virtual Desktop enhancement and migrations
Parallels RAS manages Azure Virtual Desktop workloads from the same console as on-premises and AWS resources, adding auto-scaling, cost optimisation, Windows 10 and 11 multi-session and Microsoft Teams redirection.
What a typical engagement covers
- AVD host pools, images and scaling policies managed through Parallels RAS
- Enhancing Microsoft RDS with load balancing, Secure Gateway and HTML5 access
- Citrix or Omnissa Horizon assessment, parallel run and cut-over plan
- Custom Provider Framework connectors for Proxmox, Virtuozzo, KVM or Xen
Good fit when renewals are due or cloud bills are rising. A Parallels partner Saudi and UAE teams can share handles migration in waves so users never lose access.

Parallels: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best Parallels partner in Dubai for businesses?
The best Parallels partner Dubai businesses can choose does more than resell licences. It sizes the environment, deploys and secures it, and supports it after go-live. Raidefend plans, deploys and secures Parallels RAS, Parallels DaaS, Secure Workspace, Browser Isolation and Parallels Desktop for Mac. It runs on-site workshops in Dubai and gets proofs of concept working in days.
What does a Parallels partner in the UAE do?
A Parallels partner in the UAE helps you choose the right Parallels product, size it for your users, and integrate it with your hypervisors, Azure, AWS and identity systems. It also sets up gateways, MFA and policies. Raidefend handles the full cycle: discovery, architecture, deployment, security hardening and handover. It also trains your administrators to run the platform themselves.
Do you work as a Parallels partner in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Raidefend works as a Parallels partner for Saudi organisations. Each project starts with a requirements workshop on hosting location, identity, access and audit needs. We design deployments that support the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the National Cybersecurity Authority’s Essential Cybersecurity Controls (NCA ECC). That includes in-Kingdom hosting on your own data centre or a local cloud region.
What is Parallels RAS, and why use it?
Parallels RAS (Remote Application Server) publishes Windows applications and full desktops to any device from one console: Windows, Mac, iPad, Android, Chromebook or a browser. It runs on-premises, on Azure Virtual Desktop or on AWS, and includes load balancing, a secure gateway and reporting. Teams across Dubai, the UAE and Saudi Arabia use it to deliver apps securely without managing every endpoint.
How is Parallels RAS licensed?
Parallels RAS uses a concurrent-user model: you pay for the number of people connected at the same time, not every named user. That suits shift-based and seasonal teams. Licences include vendor support. A Parallels partner can size your licence count against real usage. Raidefend also helps MSPs and ISVs choose between subscription and SPLA (Services Provider License Agreement) options.
Can Parallels run on Azure Virtual Desktop and AWS in the UAE?
Yes. Parallels RAS can manage Azure Virtual Desktop and AWS workloads alongside on-premises hosts from a single console, so you’re not locked into one platform. As a Parallels partner, Raidefend designs hybrid UAE deployments that place each workload where it fits best on cost, performance and data residency.
Does Parallels help with data protection rules in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?
Parallels gives you the controls: session logging, MFA, policy-based access, encryption and choice of hosting location. Compliance depends on how those controls are configured. The best Parallels partner in the UAE or Saudi Arabia maps them to your obligations, such as the UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) and the Saudi PDPL and NCA ECC
How long does a Parallels deployment take?
A pilot group can be working on real applications within days, because Parallels RAS can be configured in hours. A full production rollout usually takes a few weeks, depending on sites, users, integrations and security reviews. Raidefend follows four steps: discover, architect, deploy and integrate, then secure and support. Weekly demos keep stakeholders up to date.
Can Mac users in Dubai run Windows applications with Parallels?
Yes. Parallels Desktop for Mac Business and Enterprise editions let Mac users run Windows and its applications side by side with macOS, managed centrally by IT. Raidefend deploys and manages it for Mac-heavy teams in Dubai and across the UAE. That includes licence management, deployment packages, and security policies for copy-paste, USB and network access.
Can Parallels replace a VPN for remote staff in Dubai, the UAE and Saudi Arabia?
Yes, for many teams. Parallels Secure Workspace gives staff zero-trust, browser-based access to approved apps and files, with nothing to install on their devices. Parallels Browser Isolation protects SaaS and web apps without routing traffic through a VPN. Raidefend sets up and secures both, including MFA and access policies. Contractors and remote users then connect safely from personal devices.
