Types of Cloud Services
Cloud services come in a variety of different forms to suit your needs as a business:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Rent servers from a cloud computing service provider for your development, networking, or storage. Rather than buying server hardware outright and expending efforts to maintain it, IaaS allows organisations to rent the space that they need and use Virtual Machines (VMs), for example, to run your applications. Maintenance is also taken care of as part of the service, leaving you free to concentrate on your business without having to worry about the hardware behind it.
Platform as a service (PaaS)
Give your developers a structure that they can use to create personalised apps. Platforms like Microsoft Azure provide servers for development, allowing you to maintain control of your developed applications, while they maintain and control the servers themselves.
Software as a service (SaaS)
SaaS are online tools for companies to use, often without the need for downloading or installing applications, but accessible from a web browser. These tools, like the email services of Microsoft 365, are often managed by many a cloud service company in South Africa and around the world.
