What is DaaS?
By definition, DaaS is a Windows 10 Desktop as a Service hosted by a third-party cloud service provider.
What makes DaaS so exciting is that it provides the benefits of VDI–things like centralized management, improved data security, and simplified deployment–while at the same time avoiding the costs, limitations, and complexities of VDI implementation.
For instance, on-premises VDI requires CapEx investments in servers and storage. As a result, customers must plan for growth by purchasing additional capacity in advance or they’ll struggle to quickly scale their VDI deployments.
Additionally, skilled resources are needed to support these environments, and performance can suffer for remote workers depending on their proximity to a data center. DaaS attacks these issues head on.
DaaS replaces the CapEx of VDI with OpEx costs. This includes subscriptions at a set monthly rate, where organizations need only pay for the desktops they use. Virtual desktops and apps can be quickly added or removed from the monthly subscriptions and cloud-hosted desktops can be deployed on a global scale, thereby providing users access to their virtual desktops from just about everywhere.
Additional benefits of DaaS
Organizations adopting DaaS can realize many additional benefits.
PC in the Cloud ensures a consistent user experience in bring your own device (BYOD) environments, regardless of the device format or brand. This is notable because BYOD also tends to reduce the “shadow IT” culture in organizations.
DaaS delivers better performance and access to users’ desktop capabilities and applications from anywhere in the world by automatically connecting users to the nearest data center. The experience is further improved by the use of PCoIP or Blast Extreme, which efficiently leverages a limited bandwidth network.
DaaS enhances security and compliance by enabling a consistent set of security controls across mobile devices on any operating system or hardware. This ensures data privacy since no data is downloaded, stored, or processed on the local device. Instead, data is only displayed. Furthermore, DaaS gives organizations agility to quickly provide desktop resources with all the necessary access and permissions, while also maintaining control through the creation of desktop images in the cloud.
