DaaS is a Smart Choice for Digital Workspaces
Today, organizations are choosing both VDI and desktop-as-a-service solutions to
address digital workspace needs. Whether your organization:
• Already has a successful VDI deployment supporting thousands of seats
• Has experimented with VDI with mixed results
• Is brand new to the idea of digital workspaces
DaaS can offer substantial benefits because it offloads much of the deployment,
management, and support burden from your team. This book explains why DaaS
may be the right solution for you:
• Chapter 2 explores the challenges that VDI may pose for IT teams and the potential
advantages of DaaS—either as a complement to VDI or an alternative.
• Chapter 3 explains the criteria to consider when choosing a DaaS solution.
• Chapter 4 introduces Nutanix Xi Frame, a unique desktop-as-a-service platform
built from scratch for deployment in any cloud.
• Chapter 5 describes how Xi Frame functions, from both an IT and user perspective.
• Chapter 6 discusses some of the industries that are benefitting from DaaS and Xi
Frame.
• Chapter 7 shows you how you can try Xi Frame for yourself and how to get started.
