Moreover, organizations that earlier opted for virtual desktop infrastructure are observed to be at the front line when it comes to shifting to DaaS. Growing demand for convenient access to data and other critical applications will continue to influence adoption of DaaS in the near future. One of the most recent and captivating developments in DaaS space was the advent of Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop.

North America continues to race ahead in terms of the adoption of desktop as a service. The presence of established market players in the region including Microsoft and Amazon has widened the prospects of the DaaS market in this region. Moreover, growing demand for cloud computing services such as DaaS from the BFSI sector in the U.S. and Canada has presented service providers a plethora of opportunities. Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), on the other side, has recently emerged lucrative for service providers.
