The sustainability case for Desktop as a Service (DaaS)

An initial side bar for readers not familiar with the trends in end user compute:

Instead of traditional desktop computers, DaaS delivers virtual desktops to users on their devices, such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

A second side bar for the readers not familiar with the trends in the world we live in:
