# Overview

This document describes how to configure FSLogix Profile Containers and Office Containers using Parallels® RAS.

FSLogix Profile Container is a remote profile solution for non-persistent environments. It is supported in Parallels RAS starting from version 18. FSLogix Profile Container redirects the entire user profile to a remote location and maintains user context in non-persistent environments, minimizing sign-in times, providing native profile experience, and eliminating compatibility issues. Being the successor of Roaming Profiles and User Profile Disks, FSLogix Profile Container is the preferred profile management solution in Parallels RAS.

FSLogix Office Container is focused on storing only the profile content unique to Microsoft 365 (Office) applications. Previously, it was possible to use FSLogix Office Container with Parallels RAS, but it required management outside of Parallels RAS. Starting from version 19.3, management and configuration can be performed from within Parallels RAS Console and Management Portal. Office Container is used when it is necessary to separate Office data and other profile data. It provides protection from data loss or corruption in one of the containers and allows organizations to have different container sizes to accommodate specific workloads or data synchronized from, for example, Microsoft OneDrive.

Native FSLogix Profile Container and Office Container require manual configuration via the registry or group policy. Parallels RAS makes this process more efficient for administrators by allowing them to manage all Profile Container-related settings via Parallels RAS Console or Parallels RAS Management Portal.
