Choosing the Right Desktop-as-a-Service Provider
Desktop as a service (DaaS), being a cloud-based subscription offering that provides virtual desktop solutions, is rising in popularity post the pandemic, with more workplaces going remote. These can be deployed over the internet with the optional component of a physical endpoint (i.e., PC) hardware. In this article, Chiradeep BasuMallick explains the meaning of DaaS and the basics and lists the top desktop-as-a-service providers today so that you can choose the best fit for your organization.
Are You Ready for Web3?
Alekh Barli, CEO of Santa Browser, talks about the need to delve deeper into the functioning and scope of Web3 and why it’s worth considering a move to it. With newer applications and throwing conversations around the benefits of the decentralized internet takeover, companies on the whole and tech professionals specifically need to establish a more standardized understanding of the concept. With crypto wallets, DEX and DeFi becoming more mainstream, acknowledging their security vulnerabilities have also become a necessity.
Defining the Metaverse
Is the Metaverse Standards Forum perceived merely as a marketing tool for leading tech firms to exercise their influence? Though the idea behind the forum is to make the virtual reality space accessible, it also has the challenging task of setting standards for a concept that still lacks consensus on a working definition. Brian Jackson, research director, Info-Tech Research Group, discusses the difficulties with the vagueness of the concept and the need for a clearer purpose to be defined for the forum.
Agile Application Development with FaaS
Features-as-a-Service may have evolved as a branding and differentiation label for SaaS companies, but it has now morphed into an approach to application development to enable greater efficiencies. Shiva Nathan, founder & CEO of Onymos, discusses the evolution of FaaS and the agility it brings to application development. Such new approaches that drive innovation also make it easier for developers to grow and for organizations to symbiotically evolve with the market.
