By Yuvraj Jain

With major cloud computing events, such as International Data Center Conference (IDCC), White Label IT Expo, and many others coming up in the next few months, we decided it was time to look at the top 7 DaaS providers of 2022. I know what you're thinking: "What is DaaS?" Well, I'm glad you asked. DaaS stands for Desktop-as-a-Service. Simply put, it's a cloud computing platform that provides users with access to a fully functional desktop environment. It's pretty sweet, especially for those who are not super tech-savvy and/or cannot procure their hardware.

If you haven't heard of DaaS before, that is because it is still in its infancy. Most people don't use it because there isn't much software out there (yet) that supports DaaS. But the field will multiply over the next few years as more and more developers keep it as a cloud computing option.

So without further ado, here are the top 7 DaaS providers of 2022:
