Advantages of Desktop as a Service (DaaS) 

1. Improved accessibility 

The anywhere, anytime, anyhow nature of the service allows users to access their desktops over the internet via PC, laptop, tablet and even smartphone, giving them unprecedented freedom and flexibility. 

2. Reduced capital expenditure 

With its classic subscription model, DaaS Solutions puts an end to the cycle of investment in desktop hardware, servers and licensing, with funds no longer leeching away into depreciating assets but available for more added-value initiatives. 

3. Lower operating costs 

DaaS removes much of the heavy housekeeping burden, enabling internal resources to be either streamlined or redeployed, while also lowering space, power, and cooling requirements. Analysts estimate that adoption of a DaaS strategy can secure savings of 30-50% over a four-year timeframe. 

4. Greater agility and responsiveness 

The dynamic nature of DaaS, with its rapid provisioning and inherent scalability, plus its affordable Opexmodel, is a good fit for organizations needing to expand quickly or wanting to respond to opportunities, both in terms of bringing hosted desktops online or pushing new applications across a hosted desktop estate. 

5. Enhanced security 

Critically DaaS shifts the security burden away from the individual device and places it within a data center infrastructure that is geared up for the highest levels of protection. Data is no longer vulnerable on a local device but held – and regularly backed up – in a secure hosted environment; it is also encrypted and can be made accessible only through multi-factor authentication protocols. 

6. Tighter alignment with business needs 

Companies often scale up to meet peak resource needs but when those needs fall back, they find themselves over-provisioned, which is inherently wasteful. Windows on Azure can scale and flex as actual needs dictate, ensuring you are only ever paying for what you use. Role-based desktops can deliver an extra degree of alignment and cost-effectiveness. 

7. Heightened resilience and reliability 

With desktops served up by solution providers typically quoting 99.99% uptime levels, based on a compelling mix of high-grade infrastructure, security, and support, users can rely on consistent access and performance.
