What is the difference between VDI, DaaS, and Cloud PC?e

VDI is a do-it-yourself model in which your internal team designs, builds, and maintains the virtual desktop platform, which is typically hosted on-premises.

DaaS (Desktop as a Service) shifts responsibility for the control plane to a provider like Dizzion. You assemble and manage the key building blocks (infrastructure, network, identity), while Dizzion handles automation, orchestration, image and capacity management, and support for public cloud or on-premises workloads. Gartner often refers to this model as Self-Assembled DaaS.

Cloud PC is a fully managed service where Dizzion handles the control plane and workload infrastructure, including orchestration, automation, image management, and VM capacity, all with predictable flat-rate pricing. You focus only on apps, user profiles, identity, and network integration. Gartner refers to this model as Vendor-Assembled DaaS.
