2 min read
This article will talk about three of the most common types of cloud services in UAE: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. We’ll also talk about the Community cloud. In addition to cloud hosting, these types also include managed services. Managed services offer security systems, database servers, and other applications, all of which are available for rent. Read below to get an understanding of various types of cloud services.
IaaS:
IaaS allows businesses to create virtualized development and testing environments easily. The virtual environments can be scaled up and down according to demand, making them extremely flexible and cost-effective. In addition to making development and testing environments less expensive, IaaS allows users to create customer-facing websites at lower costs than they could before. It also allows businesses to circumvent the need for extensive internal IT resources and data storage.
PaaS:
PaaS, or platform as a service, provides companies with applications and software. These services are generally available as a cloud service that can be used immediately, eliminating the need to set up the software. Examples of such services include Google Docs, Google App Engine, and IBM Cloud Foundry. Most companies use both SaaS and PaaS, but the right solution for your business will depend on your specific needs.
SaaS:
SaaS is a subset of cloud computing, including other service models, such as PaaS and IaaS. It covers an aspect of IT management in which already developed software is offered to users over the Internet for a monthly or yearly subscription. In exchange for the subscription, customers are relieved of managing and maintaining the software and can focus on other aspects of their businesses. However, SaaS does involve certain compromises. In addition to the loss of control, it also requires customization and management.
Community cloud:
There are several benefits of community cloud services. They can be used for collaboration in the public and private sectors and have features and environments that comply with HIPAA regulations. A community cloud service offers a secure patient care collaboration platform with collaboration tools and HIPAA compliance modules. Community clouds can also increase the market size of private clouds. Read on to learn about the benefits of community cloud services.
