Cloud desktops are an approach to end-user computing where virtual desktops and applications are hosted on cloud-based resources rather than resources in an on-premises corporate data center.
Also known as cloud virtual desktops, cloud-hosted desktops, or Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), cloud desktops can be accessed from anywhere, using any device, as long as they are connected to the internet.
Near-ubiquitous adoption of cloud-based services like Office 365, coupled with the global increase in remote work driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the ongoing adoption of digital transformation, is providing fuel to the growth of this market. According to Verified Market Research, the market for cloud desktops is projected to reach over USD 11 Billion by 2026.
