The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the adoption of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate of 14.4% for VDI from 2019 to 2027. Organizations implement VDI to facilitate remote work, streamline desktop management, run diverse applications, enhance security measures, boost scalability and performance, and efficiently onboard and offboard contractors and external staff. However, conventional Windows-based VDI solutions can be excessive, introducing unnecessary complexity and overhead for developers. In contrast, Daytona, a specialized developer workspace platform, offers a superior experience tailored specifically for developers, meeting organizational needs while providing a better experience for developers. It centralizes developer workspaces within the organization's infrastructure, enabling access from any location, streamlines desktop management, enhances security measures, boosts scalability and performance, efficiently onboards and offboards contractors and external staff, accelerates builds and tests, minimizes configuration drift, reduces latency, and allows developers to run arbitrary desktop applications.
