Digital workspaces are rapidly replacing physical desktops and laptops in many
work environments. These workspaces may be delivered by virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI) running in your data center, but companies of all sizes are
increasingly turning to desktop as a service (DaaS) solutions to satisfy digital
workspace needs.
This book describes the benefits of digital workspaces for both users and IT teams
and explains how DaaS can serve as a complement to VDI or a replacement for VDI.
It also introduces the critical characteristics you should consider when choosing a
DaaS solution.
Later chapters introduce Nutanix Xi Frame, a unique desktop as a service platform
built for the cloud age. Xi Frame has been built from scratch for the cloud, resulting
in a cost-efficient, scalable, simple-to-use, multi-tenant application and desktop
delivery platform. The Xi Frame user experience and administrator experience are
explained, as well as some of the most popular use cases.
