DaaS in Cloud Computing

How does DaaS work?

The cloud provider offers services like infrastructure, network resources, storage, and streams the virtual desktops to all the users. The users can access the services and data through a browser or software. The organizations can avail of the services according to the subscription and licenses. These desktops stream over the Internet from a centralized server. Suppose the workload gets high on one server. In that case, the administrators can migrate a running virtual machine from one physical server to another within a few seconds, allowing the applications to run uninterrupted.

Why DaaS?

DaaS - Desktop as a Service provides us with many advantages over the traditional desktop model. Let’s take a look at a few benefits listed below.

• Faster deployments - As the desktop is already configured, we need to connect it to the device and give the deployments.
• Less downtime - The cloud services also offer remote IT support, so that the issues with servers can be resolved real quick.
• Security - The service can be disconnected anytime from the device, if the device is stolen or gets blocked, so nobody else can get access to your details.
• Less power consumption - The DaaS services require less computing power, making them inexpensive and affordable.

FAQs
