PaaS, IaaS, or SaaS: no one rides for free

PaaS, IaaS, or SaaS: no one rides for free

Even the most senior of IT pros -- who still think that a single cloud environment can optimally address their IT challenges -- are a bit off base. The fact is that that using multiple solutions can capitalize on the strengths of all the proven cloud models now available to us.  (That said, the added complexity of this approach requires sound strategies for building and managing multi-cloud environments.) Today we’d like to provide you with a vendor-agnostic back-to-basics review of how to best manage (secure) multi-cloud environments as we dig deep into the IT balancing act inherent with: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), which is VM hosting that targets capital cost and geographic presence, but doesn’t affect software licensing, technical support costs or business agility. Platform as a service (PaaS), which adds software licensing benefits and reduces platform software support costs. Software as a service (SaaS), which makes an application into a service, eliminating almost all of the traditional IT costs and activities. We’re just scratching the surface with these mini-definitions above, download and get the full story on all the pros, cons, costs (and cost savings) of managing a multi-cloud environment.
