IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS
IaaS: The delivery of services such as hardware, software, storage,

networking, data center space, and various utility software elements on
request. Both public and private versions of IaaS exist.
In the public IaaS, the user needs a simple sign-up mechanism to acquire
resources. When users no longer need the resources, they simply deprovision them.
In a private IaaS, the IT organization or an integrator creates an
infrastructure designed to provide resources on demand to internal users
and sometimes partners. IaaS is the fundamental element used by other
cloud models. Some customers bring their own tools and software to create
applications.
PaaS: A mechanism for combining IaaS with an abstracted set of
middleware services, software development, and deployment tools that
allow the organization to have a consistent way to create and deploy
applications on a cloud or on-premises environment. A PaaS environment
supports coordination between the developer and the operations
organization, typically called DevOps. A PaaS offers a consistent set of
programming and middleware services that ensure developers have a welltested and well-integrated way to create applications in a cloud
environment. A PaaS requires an infrastructure service.
SaaS: A business application created and hosted by a provider in a multitenant (shared) model. The SaaS application sits on top of both a PaaS and
foundational IaaS. In fact, a SaaS environment can be built directly on an
IaaS platform. Typically these underlying services arent visible to end-users
of a SaaS application.
IaaS
IaaS, the most straightforward of the cloud delivery models, is the delivery
of computing resources in the form of virtualized operating systems,
workload management software, hardware, networking, and storage
services. It may also include the delivery of operating systems and
virtualization technology to manage the resources.
IaaS provides compute power and storage services on demand. Instead of
buying and installing the required resources in their traditional data center,
companies rent these required resources as needed. This rental model can
be implemented behind a companys firewall or through a third-party

service provider.
Virtualization is often used as a foundation of cloud computing.
Virtualization separates resources and services from the underlying physical
delivery environment. With this approach, you can create many virtual
systems within a single physical system. A primary driver for
virtualization is consolidating servers, which provides organizations with
efficiency and potential cost savings.
IaaS has two types of services:
A public service is designed so consumers in any size business can
acquire services in a rental model. Some public cloud services are open to
anyone with a credit card that pays per use. Other public cloud services are
contractual and provide a higher level of service to the buyer.
In contrast, private services are provided inside a companys firewall,
enabling IT management to provide a self-service portal for employees and
partners to easily access approved services.
Renting When you purchase server and storage resources using IaaS
services, you gain immediate access to the resources you need. You arent,
however, renting the actual servers or other infrastructure. Its not like a
rental truck pulls up to your office to deliver the services. The physical
components stay put in the infrastructure service providers data center.
Within a private IaaS, renting takes on a different focus. Although you may
not charge each user to access a resource, in the charge-back model, you
can allocate usage fees to an individual department based on usage over a
week, month, or year. Because of the flexibility of the IaaS model, the
heaviest resource users can pay more than those who use fewer resources.
Self-service provisioning
Self-service provisioning is a key characteristic of IaaS that enables the user
to obtain resources such as servers and networking through a selfservice portal without relying on IT to provision these resources for them.
The portal is similar to a banking ATM model that handles repetitive tasks
easily through a self-service interface.
Dynamic scaling
Dynamic scaling occurs when resources can be automatically expanded or
contracted based on the requirements of the workload or task.
Service levels
Many consumers acquire capacity based on an on-demand model with no
contract. In other situations, the consumer signs a contract for a specific
amount of storage and compute.
Licensing
IaaS and software providers have created the Bring Your Own License (BYOL)
plan so you have a way to use your software in both traditional or cloud
environments. Another option is Pay As You Go (PAYG), which generally

integrates the software licenses with the on-demand infrastructure services.
Metering
Metering ensures that users are charged for the resources they request and
use.
PaaS
PaaS is another foundational service that provides an abstracted and
integrated environment for the development, running, and management of
applications. Often the PaaS is tightly integrated with IaaS services because
its utilizing the underlying infrastructure provided by the IaaS. Ex. Google
App Engine
A primary benefit of a PaaS environment is that developers dont have to be
concerned with some of the lower-level details of the environment. PaaS
vendors create a managed environment that brings together a combination
of components that wouldve been managed separately in a traditional
development environment. Services integrated in a PaaS environment
include middleware (for example, software that allows independent software
components to work together), operating systems, and development and
deployment services to support software development and delivery.
Variations in PaaS delivery models
PaaS comes in different shapes and sizes. If youre using a public cloudbased PaaS, the vendor shoulders the responsibility of managing the
middleware software resources and the overall development and
deployment environment. If you decide to create your own PaaS
environment, your organization is responsible for maintaining the right level
of service. A public PaaS environment looks and acts very differently than
your traditional development and deployment platform.
For example
Resources arent delivered as software in PaaS. Instead the PaaS
environment is hosted so the third party is responsible for uptime
performance and software updates.
The development and delivery of services lives in the cloud instead of in a
single system.
Middleware and services have no installation and configuration because
theyre an integral part of the PaaS platform.
Because the PaaS is tightly coupled with IaaS services, it offers a

consistent way to manage and optimize applications from development to
deployment (DevOps).
Cloud Economics

Server costs
Storage costs
Network costs
Backup and archive costs
Disaster recovery costs
Data center infrastructure costs
Software maintenance costs
Platform costs: Some applications run only on specific operating
environments Windows, Linux, HP-UX, IBM z/OS, AIX, and so on. The
annual maintenance costs for the application operating environment need
to be known and calculated as a part of the overall costs.
Support personnel costs
Infrastructure software costs: A whole set of infrastructure management
software is in use in any installation in the data center and in a hybrid
environment. Needless to say, associated costs are involved. For example,
management software is typically used across a variety of data center
applications and services. It is typically difficult to separate costs that may
be applied to a hybrid cloud environment.
