In today's hybrid and distributed work environment, organisations face two intertwined challenges: managing end-points (desktops, laptops, mobile devices etc.) and delivering workspaces (desktops as a service, virtual desktops) to users who might be remote, on-the-go, or in office.

AnuntaTech offers a compelling solution by combining:

  • Managed Endpoint Services (MES) — overseeing device fleets, security, lifecycle, monitoring. 

  • Desktop as a Service (DaaS or VDI) — delivering virtual desktops, cloud desktops, remote desktops, securely and at scale.

Integrating AnuntaTech's Managed Endpoint Services (MES) with Desktop as a Service (DaaS) creates a secure and efficient digital workplace, enhancing device management, desktop delivery, user empowerment, and IT capabilities. This blog examines the benefits of this combination, features of each service, and practical adoption considerations for organizations.

Why MES + DaaS Matters for the Modern Digital Workplace

Device diversity in modern work environments, including remote work and various device types (Windows desktops, Macs, mobiles, tablets, BYOD), is high, and MES aids in managing this diversity. Additionally, the notion of a "desktop" has evolved beyond a physical device to include virtual desktops, cloud-desktops, and DaaS, which offer enhanced flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Security & compliance become more critical

  • With many endpoints and remote users, keeping security policies consistent is essential—MES handles enforcing policies, deploying patches, monitoring compliance. 

  • With DaaS, sensitive data can be kept off local devices and access can be tightly managed, reducing risk of data leakage.

 What AnuntaTech Offers: Key Capabilities

Modern Desktop Management facilitates remote software deployment, policy enforcement, and device health monitoring. Mobile Device Management ensures the security of mobile endpoints. Device Lifecycle Management optimizes hardware investment from procurement to retirement. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offers unified visibility and consistent policies by integrating security and networking. Benefits include proactive security management, 24/7 support, quick response, asset compliance, and same-day onboarding.

Desktop as a Service (DaaS/VDI)

New Desktop as a Service (DaaS) deployments offer rapid launch through best-practice implementations, facilitating transitions from legacy desktops and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to modern DaaS solutions. Following the go-live phase, ongoing Day-2 support ensures effective management. DaaS solutions are available in two forms: packaged, which are pre-configured for quick deployment, and enterprise, which are tailored for large organizations. Key benefits include reduced endpoint management costs, secure scaling, protection of sensitive data off local devices, and support for both legacy and cloud-native applications.

How MES & DaaS Work Together to Power the Digital Workplace

The document compares the contributions of Managed Endpoint Services (MES) and Device as a Service (DaaS) across several challenges. MES provides unified management for diverse endpoints, enforces security policies, facilitates quick onboarding, supports remote usage, and optimizes device operations. In contrast, DaaS abstracts device differences by enabling access to virtual desktops from any device, confines data in the cloud to enhance security, allows rapid desktop provisioning for users without physical devices, delivers a flexible desktop experience, and reduces the need for substantial on-premises infrastructure.
Conclusion
Combining managed endpoint services and desktop-as-a-service provides a secure and efficient digital workplace. AnuntaTech's solution offers a unified management layer for secure and compliant devices, a flexible delivery layer enabling users to work from anywhere with consistent performance, and the operational and cost benefits of outsourcing endpoint and desktop management to specialists.
