Cloud Service Models
Cloud computing services and models are gaining tremendous momentum, with more businesses migrating their workloads from on-premise infrastructures to the cloud. A robust cloud strategy is inevitable to build a successful business strategy. And the most important part of your cloud strategy is to choose the right cloud service models for your organization. Cloud service models are part of the broader trend – “Everything as a Service” or “XaaS.” As you explore the cloud service models, you will find options like IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, and similar terms.
Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud Service Models Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a service (SaaS) Software as a service (SaaS) is a software licensing and distribution model in which your full-application stack is delivered as a cloud service. Your software application and its underlying infrastructure are centrally hosted on your vendor’s cloud service and are fully maintained and updated by them. The vendor controls the entire computing stack, which you can access through a web browser. Your applications run on the cloud and you can use the vendor’s cloud services by paying a license fee or get it for free with limited access.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud service model in which the cloud provider hosts the infrastructure components that provide computing, storage, networking, and virtualization capabilities to the subscriber on an on- demand basis via the internet. IaaS eliminates the need for enterprises to procure, configure, or manage infrastructure themselves. They only need to pay for what they use. IaaS avoids the costs and complexity associated with building and maintaining physical infrastructure in an on-premises data center. As a subscriber, you only need to focus on installing, configuring, and managing software and keeping your data secure.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud service model that offers users a flexible and scalable cloud platform to develop, deploy, run, and manage apps. It provides the hardware and software resources needed for cloud application development. Developers don’t have to worry about updating the operating system and development tools or maintaining hardware. A third- party service provider delivers the entire PaaS environment via the cloud. Development teams can simply purchase pay-as-you-go access to everything they need to build custom apps, including servers, operating systems, networking, storage, middleware, infrastructure, development tools, and much more.
