What is Managed Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing allows you to access essential IT resources—like servers, storage, databases, and software—through the internet, or 'the cloud,' without the need to buy or maintain physical equipment. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, you outsource the necessary computing resources from a cloud service provider. By outsourcing cloud management, a cloud service provider takes care of your computing needs remotely, reducing costs tied to hardware and minimizing the need for on-site maintenance.
Types of Managed Cloud Services
Just like cloud computing, there are many types of cloud computing services. They focus on different aspects like cloud deployment, cloud platform, and cloud infrastructure. Each type is designed to accommodate different situations for the customer.
Platform as a Service – PASS
PASS is a cloud computing model that provides a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. Think of it as a pre-built platform where you can focus solely on developing and managing your applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure needs.
Software as a Service – SAAS
SAAS is a cloud computing model where software applications are delivered over the internet. Instead of installing and maintaining software on your own computers, you access and use software through a web browser.
Infrastructure as a Service – IAAS
Infrastructure as a Service – IAAS
IAAS is the most basic form of cloud computing. It provides you with the fundamental building blocks of IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, networking, and virtualization.
Storage as a Service – STaaS
STaaS is a cloud computing service model that provides data storage and management as a service. This means you can store, manage, and access your data remotely without having to manage your own physical storage infrastructure.
