Desktop as a Service

Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) is a new, innovative way of delivering the user desktop in a monthly service model. Desktop-as-a-Service will allow service providers to host both consumer and commercial desktops with application, file, and data services integration. Stoneware’s webOS provides the perfect platform for hosted service providers who wish to deliver the desktop in a subscription based model. webOS is a virtual web desktop built on Web 2.0 technologies. It provides users with secure access to web, Windows, and hosted applications through a desktop that can be delivered anywhere, at anytime through a common web browser. Unlike traditional VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) solutions, web desktop virtualization offers several key advantages in a hosted provider model:

  • Because the desktop is built on web technology, there is no Windows or Linux licensing required for the underlying desktop operating system
  • Over 1200 Virtual Web Desktops can be served on a single server
  • Natively streams web and hosted applications into the webOS desktop environment
  • Can stream Windows applications into the webOS desktop environment
  • Integrated Single Sign-on and Security
  • Integrate popular hosted applications such as Google Apps, Salesforce.com, Zoho, Zimbra, etc.
With the tremendous growth of hosted services and web applications, the desktop will transform to meet these emerging technology needs. Stoneware’s webOS is already delivering tomorrow’s desktop today. Services providers can easily build and deploy a hosted desktop service that leverages web technology to create an affordable desktop service that scales and can integrate both Windows and web applications.
