Microsoft’s developers have worked over and made significant changes to virtual desktop infrastructure and the initial architecture of desktop Virtualization to provide a smooth deployment and management experience to IT pros. This also simplifies app delivery since it uplifts the permanent installation requirement of MSIX packaged apps and allows them to be dynamically “attached” to a virtual machine. It makes things faster, gives fewer burdens to the storage and provides the admin a smoother management and updating experience.

A smoother Office Virtualization experience

To make things more robust, productive FSLogix technology is deployed in the desktop Virtualization environments of Windows Virtual Desktop. This technology was also deployed in Office virtualized environments. WVD is fully equipped with FSLogix tools resulting in a streamlined Office virtualization experience with best-in-line performance.

Virtualized Win 7 Experience

Since Win 7 extended support is ending in January 2020 from Microsoft, many customers aren’t ready to leave win 7 legacy applications. With Windows Virtual Desktop, customers get the option to continue using Win 7 desktops in a desktop virtualization environment with free Extended Security Updates (ESU) until January 2023.

Extending Windows Virtual Desktop

Many Companies who have partnered with Microsoft have the privilege to extend the Windows Virtual Desktop according to their business value. For example, Citrix can extend WVD and can support Windows 7 with free Extended Security Updates for up to three years, Windows 10 multi-sessions and support for Windows Server 2008 R2 with free Extended Security Updates on Azure and your personal cloud desktop.

VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure can extend WVD with benefits like Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. Hardware Companies who have partnered with Microsoft and system integrators (SI) can utilize Windows Virtual Desktop in their turnkey Desktop-as-a-Service solutions to provide better Desktop virtualization experience to their customers. Partners have the potential to come up with innovative solutions with Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop technology with the best-in-line virtual desktop infrastructure.

Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) you heard it right. No, it’s not the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure that we are talking about today, its Desktop-As-a-Service. With technology innovating the norms around us, Desktops are offered as a Service too!

So, what exactly is DaaS? In reality, Desktop-as-a-Service is kind of virtual computing where employees are able to access their desktop environment on any device and it is stored in the cloud. Hence, the work environment along with data is available for access from anywhere!

What is the difference between DaaS and VDI?

The familiar concept of VDI comes in to the mind while introducing DaaS to the readers. The core difference is that VDI is an on-premises infrastructure. In this system, the virtual desktops are interrelated to servers within the organization. On the other hand, DaaS is hosted outside the organization. They are hosted in the Cloud by service providers.

DaaS is low cost and more flexible. Pricing and subscription model play a great role in companied preferring to switch to DaaS than a VDI. A virtual Desktop hosted in the cloud is available for longer hours, uses low power and consumes less hard disk space. Hence the overall costs are cut down by up to 60%.

Benefits and Downfalls of DaaS

DaaS has both advantages and disadvantages over native solutions. Let’s have a look:

Advantages

Flexibly: DaaS environment is flexible. For Windows users, desktops are offered in Windows, for Linux users, desktop service is offered in Linux. The two environments can be switched between too.

Disaster Recovery: DaaS is not a DR solution, but it can help employees continue work after a Disaster much faster.

Security: with DaaS, viruses and other security compromising factors affect the working environment.

Disadvantages

Resources: DaaS requires a high internet connection speed. So, employees should have good internet resources whenever they are accessing the device form the cloud.

Single Point of Failure: Well, that’s costly, not in terms of money but in terms of time. If the providers go down, employees of companies who have consumed DaaS form the provider will be left to waiting for the Provider to get back up again so they can resume their work. Good providers take measures for Disaster Recovery, though.
