DaaS

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a method of cloud computing in which a provider provides users with virtual desktops over the internet. Thus, the service allows you to run any application in your browser..

DaaS (Desktop as a Service), like VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), provides its users with the following features:

• secure access to applications;
• centralized management;
• remote access to applications;
• ability to perform work without the need for independent administration;

The principle of DaaS operation

The DaaS service allows providers to host IT infrastructure on cloud servers and broadcast a virtual desktop to the user’s device. Modern technologies allow DaaS to be used, including for the transfer of graphic-intensive applications.

In case of increased workload on the server, the administrator has the ability to quickly move the virtual machine to another physical server, which avoids interruptions in the work. At the same time, the main advantages of using DaaS are considered to be simplified management, increased flexibility and low financial costs for maintenance..

Combined operation of VDI and DaaS

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is often resorted to in order to expand and develop the functionality when working with VDI, for example, for:

• flexibly provide remote data access for temporary employees;
• creating a backup data center (DC) using VDI;
• simplifying the use of public cloud services with DaaS;
• savings on machines and systems that require additional maintenance;

savings on machines and systems that require additional maintenance;

In contrast to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), DaaS:

• prevents the use of VDI as a service;
• performs automatic weekly updates;
• offers flexible payment of workload costs;
• represents a structure consisting of global cloud services while being able to utilize on-premises infrastructure;
• is quick to customize and flexible to use;
