DaaS (Desktop as a Service) simplifies virtual desktop and application delivery into a cloud-based subscription service that avoids the traditional complexities of on-premises VDI. As such, the potential benefits of DaaS are very attractive to IT teams that wish to establish greater control over desktops, improve security and speed-up provisioning. It’s no wonder that DaaS adoption and consideration is on the rise.
