Cloud Desktop
A cloud desktop is also known as a virtual desktop, hosted desktop, or Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS). ... However, unlike a traditional Microsoft Windows desktop, the necessary settings, data, and operating system are delivered over the internet, rather than stored on the computer's hard drive
​
​During the Covid-19 pandemic many customers opted in for DaaS this allowed them to unify the desktop experience across the board and benefit in the following several ways;
-
Reduction in support, infrastructure, hardware and deployment costs.
-
High scalability and flexibility.
-
Greater storage space. By using virtual desktop technology, each user will have access to a much greater storage space for applications and files than they would have on a hard drive on their device.
-
Increased information security. Working on a virtual desktop means that the data is not on the device.
-
Increase in productivity and flexibility for employees.
-
Protection of business continuity. Whatever happens, data is backed up in the cloud and the virtual desktop infrastructure can be accessed remotely.
