What is DaaS?
According to Gartner, Desktop as a service (DaaS) market spending is forecast to grow by 19% in 2023 as I&O leaders continue to adopt DaaS to enable remote work.
Desktop as a Service, or DaaS, is a cloud computing service where the entire desktop environment is hosted on a remote server and accessed via the internet. Instead of your company applications, files, and data being stored on your personal computer, they're stored on these secure remote servers. This way, your corporate data stays secure in the data center and never lives on user’s edge devices, thereby freeing you from the worry of compromising data due to lost/stolen end-points.
This also means users can use any desktop, laptop or mobile device, to work anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. It's a flexible solution that's managed by a service provider, making it easier for IT to support remote work and manage company resources.
