The DaaS devices need fewer computing resources than conventional ones. This makes them more cost-effective. When setting up DaaS, no upfront investments in computing, storage and network infrastructure are necessary. Another savings factor: the selected IT services are scaleable in any direction, even downwards. You can change the configurations for Desktop-as-a-Service at any time. Companies that pursue a bring-your-own-device strategy can also save on hardware costs. It is also cheaper in terms of licences: if your employees work from several devices, only one authorisation is sufficient, because it’s still a one-user virtual workstation. If increased computing power is required for certain tasks in the short-term, for example for video productions or big data analyses, it can be set up quickly with DaaS. Thus, you avoid the need to purchase a new workstation, which would not be profitable for time-limited tasks. After the project is finished, you can scale down the computing power to the original level. Maintenance costs are also lower. Your Desktop-as-a-Service provider takes care of back-ups, software updates, IT security and other technical concerns, as already outlined earlier.
