Desktop-as-a-service solutions provide a virtualized desktop or Windows application experience to workers, entirely from a remote hosted location such as the public cloud. DaaS eliminates the need for businesses to purchase the physical infrastructure associated with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or server-based computing (SBC), instead functioning through subscription- and usage-based payment structures. DaaS includes provisioning, patching and maintenance of the management plane and resources to host workloads. DaaS vendor services do not generally include adding and managing enterprise applications.
