Cloud Computing and Platform as a Service

What is PaaS (Platform as a Service)?

Platform as a service is based on the idea that you need a development and deployment platform in the cloud. A PaaS cloud computing provider supplies the hardware, operating system, software upgrades, security and all other things related to the day to day hosting of an application.

You might be asking yourself why an organization would want to invest in PaaS private cloud computing. When would Expedient's PaaS dedicated cloud computing hosting services be useful for you?

• If you want to deploy an application into the cloud but do not want to deal with virtualized infrastructure.
• You want to try out an application to test your interest or adoption, but you don’t have the money for infrastructure.
• You would otherwise build departmental level applications traditionally run from an unmanaged server.

How it Works

Platform as a Service, or PaaS, rests one layer above Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in the cloud computing stack. In general, PaaS is any service offering provided through the Internet that enables the deployment of applications without having to setup and manage an application infrastructure. Unlike SaaS, which is intended for end users, a PaaS is a development platform for developers.
