Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is gaining significant traction as small businesses discover its proven flexibility, security, scalability and cost-saving advantages. This paper discusses the specific benefits that make DaaS a smart strategic choice for small business leadership looking to optimize their IT infrastructure while boosting end-user productivity.
DaaS is a cloud service that delivers virtual desktops to end-users over the Internet — on any device — via a per-user, pay-as-you-go subscription model. The virtual desktops, complete with operating systems, applications, and business file access, run in a secure and scalable hosted infrastructure managed by a cloud provider. That way, SMBs don’t have to worry about physical hardware constraints or the hassle of installing and managing an operating system and applications on every employee device.
The virtual desktops run in virtual machines on servers hosted in the cloud provider’s data center alongside storage and network resources. The cloud provider handles all backend management, including security, backups, updates, maintenance, and data storage, so the SMB can focus on running its core operations and driving business growth.
With remote work and hybrid work models here to stay, DaaS provides an opportunity for SMBs to increase employee productivity and flexibility while achieving new levels of cost-efficiency, security, and scalability. The right DaaS solution can help SMBs gain a strong competitive advantage and accelerate business growth for new levels of success.
