According to Gartner, “DaaS has been successful for small organizations and is now being adopted by midsize and large enterprise organizations, primarily for disaster recovery, and elastic and temporary use cases. DaaS offerings can vary significantly in scope of service, ease of adoption and cost, and will become more viable as organizations move more workloads and applications to the cloud… By 2023, price reductions and product maturity will lead organizations to move 20% of VDI users into DaaS offerings in the cloud.”
