- DAAS could be more effective than laptops for 95% of workers by 2027
- The hosted machines are twice as popular as in 2019
- DAAS expenses could reach $ 6 billion by 2029
New Gartner Research suggested that the PCs accommodated, otherwise known as the office as a service (DAAS), are now cheaper to use than on -site commercial computers.
By 2027, Gartner expects DAA to be profitable for around 95% of the workforce, compared to 40% in 2019, with more users who should use machines hosted as the main workspace as a result (20%, compared to 10% in 2019).
However, for the moment, most organizations are only deployed from DAAS to a minority of employees to help secure work remotely. But an increasing accent on the cost, operational efficiency and sustainability could change this.
More companies are considering DAAS
Gartner predicts that DAAS spending drops from $ 4.3 billion in 2025 to $ 6.0 billion in 2029, thanks to the fact that the total cost of possession has now fallen below laptops for many use cases, in particular with thin customers.
“DAAS solutions allow remote workers, offshore workers, third -party employees, entrepreneurs, front -line workers and office workers to access virtual office computers hosted in the cloud,” said Gartner.
Microsoft was evaluated as the upper leader, with strengths in the digital workplace, cloud and AI, and products, including Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 and Microsoft Dev Box.
For Microsoft in particular, Gartner estimates that 60% of its DAAS customers belong to medium-sized organizations (100-4,999 employees), with larger companies (more than 5,000 employees) representing 30% and only 10% from small organizations (up to 99 employees).
“Gartner rarely talks about an organization that plans to deploy a new VDI on-site solution. Net-News deployments use almost exclusively DAAS, and on-site deployments migrate to DAAS or moving to a cloud control plan, with the exception of a few terrian use cases,” concluded the company.
For the future, companies are now examining the benefits of DAA profitability with scaling opportunities more amplifying potential savings.
However, as a relatively small part of the global PC market which is in the early stages with limited regulations, it raises certain questions concerning the locking of suppliers and the complexity of licenses, which means that the first adopters could have to support headaches until regulators weigh.
