Definitive DaaS Guide for SMBs (Desktop As A Service)

In the fast-paced world of IT, where system failures and security breaches can strike at any moment, having a reliable and flexible desktop solution is crucial. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offers a compelling alternative to traditional desktop infrastructure, providing IT admins with a streamlined way to manage and maintain their organization's desktop environment. It's often being touted over VDIs due to their flexibility and ease of management.

Virtual desktop infrastructures or VDI, were initially adopted by large enterprises seeking to improve data security, achieve higher ROI on their hardware, and reduce costs. DaaS or Desktop-As-A-Service was introduced as a more lightweight, flexible, and less intensive virtual desktop solution. DaaS has since evolved to cater to organisations of all sizes. Today, it provides a customizable solution that meets the unique needs and budgets of businesses across various industries.

As remote work, accessibility to flexible compute, and secure sandboxed environments found their sweet spot with growing businesses, DaaS has emerged as a critical tool for enabling secure and efficient access to corporate resources. With DaaS, IT admins can provide their remote workforce with a consistent and reliable desktop experience, regardless of location or device.

How does DaaS work?

At its core, DaaS is a cloud-based service that delivers virtual desktops to users over the internet. Here's a quick breakdown of the key components:

How does DaaS work?

1. Cloud Infrastructure: DaaS providers host and manage the necessary computing resources in their cloud data centers, eliminating the need for businesses to maintain physical desktop infrastructure. Read Azure, AWS, Vulture, GCP, Neverinstall

2. Desktop streaming: Your virtualised desktop is streamed to your local device using custom protocols like RDP, VNC, or WebSockets depending on your provider. Neverinstall switches between different protocols to optimise performance and allows multiple desktops to run on a single physical server.

3. Desktop Management: Centralised management tools enable IT admins to easily deploy, configure, and update virtual desktops, manage user access, and apply security policies.

4. Network Connectivity: Users access their virtual desktops through a secure network connection, using a web browser or lightweight client application.

5. Data Storage: User data and files are stored in the cloud, ensuring accessibility from any device and protection by the provider's backup and disaster recovery measures.

DaaS provides a consistent user experience across devices, making it particularly valuable for remote workers. Some also offer customisation options to meet specific business needs, such as choosing operating systems, pre-installing applications, and configuring security settings.
