IaaS, the Cloud’s foundation

Cloud Computing is comprised of three elements :

  • IaaS : on-demand computing resources
  • PaaS : tools to help deploy a complete platform
  • SaaS : self-service computing products ready to use “out of the box”, i.e. ready immediately after being installed.

 

IaaS

 

 

The IaaS element is the base that is vital to building PaaS and SaaS, since it offers calculating, storage, network and security resources. Without IaaS, there would be no PaaS or SaaS! A quality PaaS or SaaS offer needs an excellent IaaS infrastructure as its base.
