Parallels Management Console
Parallels Management Console is a remote tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) for
managing your physical servers with Parallels Server Bare Metal and virtual machines residing
on them. This tool uses a typical client-server architecture.
The client application with the graphical user interface is installed on a computer running one of
the supported Linux, Mac, or Windows operating systems. Once the client application is up and
running, it can connect to the Parallels Server Bare Metal software on a physical server. The
client application can control multiple physical servers simultaneously (e.g. Physical Server #1
and Physical Server #2 as shown in the picture above). After the connection to the required
physical server has been established, you can start managing this server and its virtual machines
using the intuitive and comfortable GUI.
