We've built our enterprise grade Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering on Microsoft Azure to give our clients superior reliability and performance. Click on one of the links below to explore our DaaS platform, or book a demo with one of our IT consultants.
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) works by transferring your computing workloads from the local device (such as a laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile) to a cloud based server. Instead of storing and editing the files locally on the device, the files are stored securely in Microsoft Azure Cloud. With DaaS, businesses can save on the costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading hardware. Because the workloads are processed in the cloud, businesses can leverage economies of scale in their costs, and only need to provision computing resouces when the workloads are required by their staff. This is a significant advantage of traditional "local" computing models, where businesses pay up-front for the infrastructure weather or not it is in use.
Our service has been built on Microsoft Azure, which has been developed in parallel to Microsoft Teams to get around video call performance issues that typically affect Desktop as a Service offerings. We use Azure's intelligent workload distribution to route call processing directly to the employees device, which avoids the latency problems that interfere with calls.
With DaaS, all data is stored in a centralised data centre, rather than on individual devices. This greatly minimises the risk of data loss or theft if a device is lost or stolen. As an added benefit, it also makes it much quicker to restore an employees working environment in the event their device is stolen.
As your DaaS provider we handle all of the updates, maintenance and patching associated with the cloud servers, which greatly mitigates the risk of attacks and data breaches caused by known vulnerabilities. Additionally, because the files are not stored on the local devices, your risk of data theft caused by BYOD (bring your own device) policies is minimised.
Our virtual desktop client will run on virtually anything, provided it has an internet connection. Our customers run our services on a variety of devices including:
We only provision the cloud servers running your workloads when they are needed. This means you aren't paying for infrastructure that isn't being used on weekends, public holidays, and after hours on weekdays. Additionally, because your computing workload is being handled by Microsoft Azure, there is a reduced requirement for your business to rely on top-of-the-line desktops and laptops. For most use cases these can be replaced with more cost effective devices such as thin clients.
Yes. Although our DaaS platform runs a Windows 11 desktop environment, it can be used from virtually any device without issue; including Mac / Apple operating systems.
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud computing service that provides virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to businesses, which is hosted and managed by a us. We deliver virtual desktops, applications, and data to users over the internet, allowing them to access their desktops from any device, anywhere in the world. DaaS is a flexible, scalable, and secure solution that can reduce the costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading hardware. It also allows for centralised management of desktops, applications, and data, and provides business continuity in the event of a disaster.
DaaS is a cloud computing service that provides virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) hosted and managed by a third-party provider, like us. It is a comprehensive solution that includes the infrastructure, software, and management required to deliver virtual desktops to users over the internet. Providers like us are able to manage the back-end responsibilities of data storage, backup, security, and updates, while businesses can manage their own desktop images, applications, and data if they so choose. DaaS is usually accessed via a secure internet connection and can be accessed from any device.
RDP is a protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to connect to a remote computer or virtual machine over a network connection. RDP is used to transmit the screen of the remote computer to the user's device and the user's keyboard and mouse inputs back to the remote computer. It is a protocol used for remote access and does not include the infrastructure, software, or management associated with delivering virtual desktops. RDP can be used to access physical computers or virtual machines hosted on-premises or in the cloud.
Cost vary depending on the number of servers required, the intensity of the workloads on each server, and the number of hours the servers are required to run for. To get a comprehensive quote from a member of our team, you can get in touch with us here.
