According to a recent study done by Technavio, the DaaS market will grow by over 40% by 2020. What is the cause of this explosive growth? The answer might just lie in the evolution of the Cloud. In fact, some even argue that in 2019, DaaS should more appropriately be renamed “Cloud Desktops”. This is because of the major role the Cloud has played in reshaping the DaaS offering.
Thanks to the Cloud, DaaS is now more flexible and provides more savings benefits than ever. Here are a few reasons why you can expect DaaS use to grow as we head into the 2020s:
Cloud Desktops Offer Many Benefits
With Cloud Desktops, IT can ensure end users have the same access to important apps and data as they would with on premises VDI. However, DaaS also offers significant benefits in addition to the benefits expected from an on premises VDI. For example:
- With DaaS, you don’t need to be responsible for housing an on premises server. Instead, the full weight of managing and maintaining your VDI will be put on someone else.
- You only need to pay fees for the number of sessions you need. Unlike in the past, Cloud Desktops are no longer tied to inflexible contracts and one time fees.
- Housing data and information in the Cloud adds another security layer.
- It’s a great solution for BYOD and remote workers.
Growth in DaaS adoption will be seen across multiple industries including healthcare
What industry requires the cost, flexibility and mobility benefits of DaaS more than healthcare? Busy hospitals, confidential information, tight budgets, and a premium placed on technology that saves healthcare providers time combine to make healthcare an industry that is hungry for the many benefits DaaS has to offer.
However, even with the many benefits of Cloud based virtual desktops, healthcare still needs a solution for the endpoint –one that supports Imprivata, is zero attack surface, and allows IT to manage thousands of endpoints from the convenience of one location. This is why Stratodesk works with both DaaS and Imprivata to provide an all-in-one solution for healthcare endpoints.
Automated Management from the Cloud
Stratodesk is also proud to be the first automated endpoint management solution for x86 and Raspberry Pi devices AND the only one that can be run on premises or in the Cloud. In addition to the many benefits of NoTouch Center, NoTouch Cloud offers these extended benefits:
- NoTouch Center updates are applied automatically
- Active appliance monitoring by Stratodesk and proactive support
- Support for home machines and externally used devices – without having to open your firewall
- Same, simple pricing structure
