Cloud computing can be separated into three distinct categories; Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service. While these three cloud computing models are very different to one another, to many the differences and the boundaries between them is complex. This post covers the basics of each and how they can be used to benefit businesses.

Software-as-a-Service

Software-as-a-Service, which is often referred to as SaaS, is the simplest of these three fundamental cloud models to understand. The majority of us use SaaS services of one type or another, even though we may not realise it. Software-as-a-Service refers to any software that is accessed as a service over the internet. Most email clients are SaaS services, so if you have a Gmail or Hotmail account, for example, you are using a SaaS service.
