Get Resources and Services Without the Costly Infrastructure

Cloud platforms provide businesses with a new way of managing IT resources by employing shared computing, networking, and storage facilities through the internet. This approach allows businesses to access powerful resources and services without the need to invest in and maintain their own physical infrastructure. Here’s an overview for business leaders on understanding cloud platforms and their benefits.

Defining “-as-a-Service” Models

  • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): This model offers businesses virtual machines, networks, and storage space, enabling them to avoid physical infrastructure costs while retaining control over the operating systems and applications.
  • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): PaaS allows businesses to develop, run, and manage their applications without requiring them to manage the underlying infrastructure. This service is ideal for software development and simplifies deployment.
  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): SaaS provides fully functional software applications on a subscription basis, eliminating the need for installation, maintenance, and updates. Examples include CRM systems, email services, and collaboration tools.
