What is Desktop as a Service (DaaS)?
Desktop as a Service, also known as DaaS, is a managed cloud solution to provide employees with remote desktop access to applications. Desktop as a Service is a Performive Cloud environment powered by VMware and managed by certified experts that delivers a consistent and excellent user experience across all devices and platforms. Each user has secure, remote access to their desktop image with its own dedicated compute resources to reliably power business-critical applications. Additional security, business continuity, and managed services can be layered onto any DaaS solution to meet custom requirements.

Business Benefits vs. IT Team Benefits of a Managed Desktop as a Service Solution
Desktop as a Service provides agility, cost savings, time savings and improved security options to managing device access for employees.
Adapt Quickly to Changes in Workforce Locations
With 60% of employers believing they will need flexible remote workforce policies to attract and retain talent. With Desktop as a Service, workspaces can be issued in clicks and be accessed on any device, on any platform and in any location.
Bolster Security Stance
Internal organization security policies can be hard to enforce. With a Managed Desktop as a Service Solution, security is intrinsic throughout the architecture – and additional security features can be built in. Finally, organizations can have the flexibility to allow policies like BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) knowing the security concerns have been addressed.
Increase Employee Productivity
By building a customized workspace image with the Performive engineers, every employee will get the same, consistent access to your team’s mission-critical applications in their Desktop as a Service solution.
