"Desktop as a Service (DaaS) has made some radical strides and improvements in recent years, making it a more compelling alternative to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) - and to traditional PC deployment and management. DaaS is a cloud-based offering where a provider hosts virtual desktops and streams them over the internet to users' devices, delivering a complete desktop environment that includes the operating system, apps, files, and user settings from remote cloud servers instead of running them on local PCs."
"That sounds an awful lot like VDI, but there are considerable differences. VDI is hosted in a company's own data center, while DaaS is hosted in the cloud service provider's data center. With VDI, it's up to the customer to buy, deploy, and manage the infrastructure and provide the operating environment. With DaaS, the hosting, hardware, and software environment are all managed by the CSP. That translates to a lot less work for the customer."
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) has advanced significantly, offering cloud-hosted virtual desktops streamed to user devices that include operating systems, applications, files, and user settings. DaaS differs from Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) because the cloud service provider hosts and manages the infrastructure, hardware, and software environment, reducing customer management burden and required skills. Gartner projects growing adoption and cost-effectiveness for virtual desktops, forecasting that by 2027 virtual desktops will be cost-effective for 95% of workers and serve as the primary workspace for 20% of workers. Vendor improvements and managed services are driving increased DaaS spending and market momentum.
