DaaS is a solution that is purchased on a subscription basis. The service provider manages the back-end responsibilities of data storage, backup, security, application management, and ongoing upgrades. Businesses pay a monthly fee based on the number of employees who will use the service.

The days of IT people going from computer to computer to perform the same tasks on multiple PCs are over. Since the provider handles all the back-end infrastructure and maintenance, Desktop as a Service is an excellent alternative for small or mid-size businesses that want to rein in their IT budgets.

Data is more accessible and better protected too… The use of redundant servers with failover activation guarantees access. And with data stored in multiple off-site locations, businesses won’t lose their data to a local disaster.

DaaS also comes in handy when SMBs need to scale up to meet seasonal demand or scale down to cope with an uncertain economy or changes in the market. Instead of buying hardware and software, the number of licenses is added or decreased as needed – and the monthly cost adjusted accordingly.
