INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE

IaaS
• An IaaS provider may provide you with hardware resources
such as servers. You could then install whatever you needed to onto the servers
• A more common model is for an IaaS provider to provide
you with virtual machines that you can use to install whatever you need

 ADDITIONAL SERVICE MODELS

Database as a Service Desktop as a Service

• provides a database platform
organizations can use to store their data
• Many PaaS providers also provide
database services, but in many instances organizations
do not need a development platform; they simply need a
place to store data è a DbaaS option is a good choice
• is one of the newer service models being
provided
• DaaS provides users with a virtual desktop
that can be used to perform desktop computing
• One of the big questions is whether pooled
desktops will provide an adequate user experience
or whether dedicated desktops are needed to
provide an adequate user experience
