Some of the virtual technology services provided include the ability to access outside desktops, session-based desktops, or data center applications from within a corporate-based network as well as from the Internet. Remote Desktop Services can be used to accelerate application and desktop deployments while enabling clients to run almost any application or operating system.

It is known as the most advanced open-source database available. It has earned a reputation for reliability and data integrity, and is widely used for websites, location-based applications, and complex data object processing. SQL Server is a well-established commercial database with a mature enterprise-class architecture. It is widely used in government, finance, medical care, education, and gaming.

Availability: If your RDS host server goes down due to a disruption such as a power outage or a restart to apply system updates, you will not be able to access your desktop environments.
With DaaS, however, no VPN is required and the entire cloud service that hosts your cloud desktops would need to fail — an exceedingly rare event — in order to make them inaccessible. Security: DaaS allows you to create an isolated virtual machine for each desktop that you want to host. With RDS, however as well as with any other Windows-based shared desktop environment , because there are multiple desktop environments hosted by the same Windows Server instance, spillover of security problems poses a higher risk.
An attacker who takes control of the Windows Server environment could potentially control all of the desktop sessions it hosts, for example. Manageability: With RDS, you have to maintain a physical Windows Server machine in order to share desktop environments across your network.
With DaaS, the cloud vendor or DaaS provider maintains the virtual machines for you; you need only to manage the software environments running on them unless that task is also handled by the DaaS provider. This can pose a challenge if, for example, you have employees who need to access their desktop environments from their homes. With a DaaS platform like DesktopReady, users can log in to their desktops through their Web browsers, from any location.
Scalability: When you use RDS, the number of desktop environments you can host, and the amount of CPU, memory and storage resources you can assign to them, are limited by the resources available to the Windows Server host machine. On a DaaS platform, however, you can easily allocate more resources to your cloud desktops as needed.
