Der Swissdesktop der Firma futuretek aus der Schweiz ist ein DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service) Angebot und ermöglicht die Virtualisierung von PC-Arbeitsplätzen. Für unter CHF 100 wird der Arbeitsplatz virtualisiert und die Daten sicher in einer Schweizer Cloud zentralisiert. Selbst Microsoft Software kann temporär und damit im "Pay-what-you-use" Modell kostengünstig und flexibel genutzt werden. Weitere Informationen: http://www.swissdesktop.com.
