DaaS FAQs
How does Parallels DaaS work?
DaaS or Desktop as a Service solutions enable users to access virtual desktops that are hosted and/or managed by a cloud provider.
It offers greater scalability, flexibility, and efficiency, making it an increasingly popular and cost-effective option for organizations seeking to avoid the growing complexity and rising costs of on-premises solutions.
What’s the difference between VDI and DaaS?
DaaS is a simpler, more flexible alternative to traditional virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). End users can access virtual desktops via DaaS, reducing the need for IT teams to manage software on individual devices.
With a pay-as-you-go subscription model, it allows organizations to offload backend management to the service provider and reduce IT operational costs.
VDI relies on an organization’s on-premises infrastructure, with in-house teams handling deployment and maintenance, while DaaS operates in the cloud, offering a pay-per-user model that simplifies scaling and hardware management.
This flexibility makes DaaS ideal for seasonal workers, mergers, or expanding hybrid teams.
