PaaS – what is it ?
Posted on May 3, 2010 | No CommentsPaaS is an acronym for Platform as a Service. PaaS is an outsourced service offering in which a service provider hosts all the infrastructure services that you are likely to need, such as database management, application serving, development environment, workflow and security. Using these services, you can either develop your own business system or deploy a ready-built one. Typically, the infrastructure will be delivered using virtual infrastructure which allows the service provider to better utilise hardware and hence offer the service at a lower cost than the traditional ‘host your own servers’ method. -
SaaS – what is it ?
Posted on May 3, 2010 | 4 CommentsSaaS is an acronym for Software as a Service. SaaS is an outsourced service offering in which a service provider hosts one or more software applications that can licensed to and used by many different clients with their data securely partitioned. Traditionally if you need to use software, it is installed on your desktop PC and/or on your company’s servers. With SaaS, the software is installed and run on the service provider’s infrastructure. This not only avoids the need for the infrastructure to run and support the system, it also takes on responsibility for upgrades, backups and data storage. SaaS service providers can provide just one application through to complete application suites.
