It’s also worth noting that in addition to the various network deployment tools available, the Parallels deployment package can be installed locally as well. Once the deployment package is created, it can be deployed using and of the Mac deployment tools on the market like Casper Suite, Apple Remote Desktop, and munki (see our earlier coverage of Mac mass deployment and management for more details on deployment tools).

The process includes providing a volume license key for Parallels itself, creating configuration instructions to customize specific Parallels settings, and providing the actual virtual machine files.
