Cloud computing

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a Cloud-based method of purchasing Internet-based IT resources as services for rapid roll-out on a pay-per-use basis. They mean no more investment in hardware infrastructures, underlying software or associated maintenance.

In IaaS, the supplier offers public or private hybrid-mode hosting of operating systems, virtualization, database and value-added services software resources, such as monitoring, backup and contingency plans, as part of a global framework designed to offer the level of service established with the customer (ANS).

IaaS offers companies highly scalable, secure, flexibly- managed services, which adapt easily to increased demand for computing resources or additional connected users and to corporate policies on access and security settings for hosted applications.

Software as a service (SaaS) is a way of supplying software applications via the Internet. Deployed in ‘infrastructure as a service’ (IaaS) providers, or in the manufacturers’ own Data Centers, the software has the same functional capabilities, availability and guaranteed correct operation as software installed on local corporate servers.

Companies that use SaaS services no longer need to purchase hardware or software, upgrade software or perform maintenance tasks and evolve from fixed cost policies with owned assets to managing variable costs with no capital investment.

Opting for SaaS software solutions has other important advantages, such as multitenant architecture, encouraging a culture of use of standard software and easy access to applications from any place and at any time.
