A New Era of Cloud Computing Solutions – IaaS & SaaS

Cloud Computing

Not sure how to differentiate IaaS cloud computing from SaaS cloud solutions? We have prepared you the ultimate guide.

What is Cloud Computing?

According to S&P Global, the global cloud computing market is expected to reach USD$101 billion by 2025. As cloud computing is becoming more widespread and advanced in recent years, you must familiarize yourself with the latest developments. Before digging deep into cloud computing, we should understand what cloud computing is.

What is IaaS Cloud Computing?

IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service, is a cloud computing solution that offers infrastructure including virtualized storage, servers and networking resources on a pay-as-you-go basis.

By deploying the IaaS cloud computing solutions, enterprises can operate the systems and applications on the third-party servers instead of their owned on-premises IT infrastructures.

In a nutshell, IaaS cloud computing has revolutionized the traditional hardware-oriented practices, allowing enterprises to scale up or down in a much more flexible manner.


What is SaaS Cloud Solution?

SaaS - Software as a Service, which will deliver software and applications over the internet via a subscription model.

With SaaS Cloud Solutions, enterprises no longer need to install, upgrade and manage software applications on their local services or computers as everything runs solely on the SaaS providers' servers.

SaaS cloud solutions allow enterprises to get rid of the complicated software and hardware management given that the only requirement is a stable internet connection.
