Desktop as a service (DaaS)
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud computing offering in which a third party hosts the back end of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment.
With Desktop as a Service, desktop operating systems run inside virtual machines on servers in a cloud provider's data center. All the necessary support infrastructure, including storage and network resources, also lives in the cloud. As with on-premises Hosted VDI, a DaaS provider streams virtual desktops over a network to a customer's endpoint devices, where end users may access them through client software or a web browser.
How does desktop as a service work?
DaaS architecture is multi-tenant, and organizations purchase the service through a subscription model typically based on the number of Virtual Hosted Desktop instances used per month.
In the desktop-as-a-service delivery model, the cloud computing provider manages the back-end responsibilities of data storage, backup, security and upgrades. While the provider handles all the back-end infrastructure costs and maintenance, customers usually manage their own virtual desktop images, applications, and security, unless those desktop management services are part of the subscription
