What is Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a segment of virtual client computing (VCC) that provides virtual desktops hosted in the cloud. It is characterized by its high level of automation, allowing administrators to define how desktops should operate without needing extensive user input. Unlike traditional cloud VDI, which simply shifts virtualization from on-premises to the cloud, DaaS offers a more streamlined and user-friendly approach, making it easier for organizations to manage their desktop environments.
Why is DaaS important for organizations?
DaaS is increasingly recognized as a strategic solution for organizations facing talent shortages in IT. By automating desktop management and reducing the workload on IT staff, DaaS allows companies to focus their existing talent on more critical tasks, such as digital operations and AI transformation. IDC research indicates that by 2027, 40% of open system administrator and IT operations positions may remain unfilled due to a lack of trained personnel, highlighting the need for solutions like DaaS that can help organizations rethink their talent strategies.
What should buyers consider when choosing a DaaS provider?
When selecting a DaaS provider, organizations should assess the level of automation offered, ensuring it aligns with their operational needs. Buyers should clarify whether the provider offers comprehensive administrative and security services or merely tools for configuration. Additionally, it's important to consider how the DaaS solution fits into the broader talent management strategy, as the digital workspace may significantly influence employee engagement and perceptions of the company.
