Modern technologies have created frameworks where
traditional software are no longer necessary to
use the cloud. Cloud software, or DaaS
(Desktop-as-a-Service) allows users to build and
manage their own apps with minimal programming
knowledge. In this article we will look into
what is DaaS, what it can be used for and if you
should use DaaS. What is DaaS? DaaS stands for
Desktop as a Service, which means that you use a
cloud-based platform to create and maintain your
desktop applications. This is done by using a web
browser with no installation of any specific
software needed at user end. You get access to a
virtual desktop, a place where you can store and
run your files. There are a ton of different DaaS
vendors, which are companies that give you access
to a virtual desktop on their cloud. Why should
I use DaaS? Here are the top 5 reasons to use
DaaS

Low Cost
Since you do not have to buy physical hardware or
other depreciating assets such as PCs, printers
and software, you will save on upfront capital
expenditure (capex), which is one of the biggest
costs in running a desktop infrastructure.
Furthermore, purchasing office supplies becomes
obsolete since they are all available online or
at the click of a button.

High Availability
Since you do not have to worry about physical
hardware, you can use multiple servers that are
geographically dispersed to guarantee high
availability in case of server failure. This is
better than having your whole system on one
machine which can cause downtime if it fails and
affects all other users as well.

Scalability
If you don't have a lot of users or if your user
base starts to rise, DaaS providers can quickly
scale their infrastructure up in order to
accommodate for the increased demand. This is one
of the biggest benefits over traditional desktop
computing where it takes much more time to
procure new machines and also incur higher costs
for the client.

Security
In traditional desktop computing, it is up to end
users and administrators to ensure data security
and virus-free systems. DaaS providers invest
heavily in their infrastructure as well as
constantly monitor the systems for possible
breaches since they are responsible for all data
that passes through them.

Ubiquity
Since the client uses a web browser, he can
access his network from anywhere whether it be at
home, in an airplane or even on vacation. There
is no need to be tethered to one location or
bring along extra hardware in order to access
your virtual desktop.

DaaS certainly has its benefits and is one of the
ways to go in order to offer desktop services in
an efficient, cost-effective manner. This
article just outlines some key points about DaaS
and does not have a holistic view about what DaaS
can be used for or how it should be implemented.
