DaaS stands for Desktop as a Service. DaaS is a way of delivering a complete virtual desktop solution to staff via a hosted cloud environment. It is usually hosted and maintained by a third-party desktop as a service provider, including Managed IT Service Providers such as OceanCyber. You can consider DaaS as a “hosted desktop” – all your applications and services run on servers in the IT service provider’s cloud-based data center, not your user’s computer systems. DaaS providers stream the virtual desktop to your staff, no matter what device they are using or where they are located.
