Hosted/VIrtual Desktops & Cloud-based data storage
General Information
Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is a cloud service in which the backend of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is hosted by a cloud service provider. While, CloudBased storage works through data center virtualization, providing end users and applications with a virtual storage architecture that is scalable according to application requirements. In general, cloud storage operates through a Webbased API that is remotely implemented through its interaction with the client application's inhouse cloud storage infrastructure for input/output (I/O) and read/write (R/W) operations. When delivered through a public service provider, cloud storage is known as utility storage. Private cloud storage provides the same scalability, flexibility and storage mechanism with restricted or nonpublic access.
