Case Study: EXMAR achieves 80% infrastructure reduction with Parallels Secure Workspace

Gas transport company switches from Citrix to Parallels Secure Workspace resulting in an 80% reduction of their infrastructure footprint

EXMAR, an energy supply chain provider serving the gas industry, needed a simpler and more cost-effective way to give employees and external contractors secure access to business files and applications. Its Citrix-plus-VPN setup was complex, expensive, and difficult to maintain, especially as remote users worked from vessels and far-flung locations and the IT team shrank during COVID.

Parallels Secure Workspace replaced the Citrix environment and let EXMAR shift workloads to five remote desktop machines instead of 25 virtual machines, cutting its infrastructure footprint by 80%. The rollout was quick and straightforward, with the pilot launched in two days and full deployment completed in weeks; Parallels also helped reduce annual licensing costs by 66% and eliminated the need for company laptops for external agencies.
