# Remote PC pools in VDI

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**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/remote-pcs.md) 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.
