446 citations recorded by the source corpus.

This entry examines some of the web services delivered from the cloud. It reviews Communication-as-a-Service (CaaS), and explains some of the advantages of using CaaS. Infrastructure is also a service in cloud land, and there are many variants on how infrastructure is managed in cloud environments. When vendors outsource Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), it relies heavily on modern on-demand computing technology and high-speed networking. It provides some vendors who provide Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), such as Amazon.com, with their elastic cloud platform. The entry then presents implementation issues, the characteristics, benefits, and architectural maturity level of the service. Outsourced hardware environments (called platforms) are available as Platforms-as-a-Service (PaaS). The case study of Mosso (Rackspace) is offered to examine key characteristics of a PaaS implementation.
