Although these technologies offer many of the same benefits, they are not interchangeable.

By the end of this session, you'll have a clearer picture of how DaaS and VDI can fit into your business and help you achieve your goals.
In the first half of the webinar, we'll weigh the short-term and long-term benefits and drawbacks of each desktop virtualization strategy, so you can make a well-informed decision about which one is the best fit for your company.
In the second half, we’ll look at the current state of the industry, the biggest challenges of DaaS, the solutions your peers have chosen, and how DaaS fits into the bigger picture of local, datacenter, and cloud solutions. During this, we’ll reveal the latest information that’s not yet published from our DaaS Like a Pro research.
