- Daas could be more effective than laptops for 95% of workers by 2027
- Lost machines are twice more popular than in 2019
- Daas spending could grow to $ 6 billion by 2029
Gartner’s new research has suggested that the PCs lodged, also known as a desktop as a service (DAAS), are now cheaper to operate than commercial laptops in the former.
By 2027, Gartner expects DAAS to be profitable for about 95% of the workforce, compared to 40% in 2019, with more users configured to use the machines housed as their main work space as a result (20%, compared to 10% in 2019).
However, for the moment, most organizations only implement DAA to an employee minority to help ensure remote work. But an increasing emphasis on cost, operational efficiency and sustainability could change this.
More companies are considering Daas
Gartner predicts that Daas spending grows from $ 4.3 billion in 2025 to $ 6.0 billion in 2029, thanks to the fact that the total property cost has now fallen below laptops for many cases of use, especially with thin customers.
“Daas solutions allow remote workers, workers on the high seas, third -party employees, contractors, first -line workers and office workers to access virtual desks hosted in the cloud,” Gartner explained.
Microsoft was qualified as a main leader, with strengths in the digital workplace, the cloud and the AI, and the products, including Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 and Microsoft Dev Box.
For Microsoft in particular, Gartner estimates that 60% of its DAAS clients belong to medium-sized organizations (100-4,999 employees), with larger companies (more than 5,000 employees) that represent 30% and only 10% come from smaller organizations (up to 99 employees).
“Gartner rarely speaks of an organization that plans to implement a new crazy VDI solution. New net implementations use almost exclusively DAA, and local implementations are migrating to DAA or moving to a cloud control plane, except for some cases of land use,” the company concluded.
Looking towards the future, companies are now investigating the profitability benefits of DAA with scale opportunities further amplifying possible savings.
However, as a relatively small portion of the general PC market that is in its early stages with a limited regulation, it raises some questions about the blocking of the suppliers and the complexity of the license, which means that the first users could have to support headaches until the regulators intervene.
