Infrastructure Choices for SaaS Providers: Various Flavors of Cloud or Private Cloud
It’s been nearly 20 years since infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and the public cloud emerged as a new model for building and managing the IT systems that power business operations.
The potential benefits – and drawbacks – of public IaaS are now well known. But the all-or-nothing public cloud mindset has shifted in favor of more heterogeneous IT architecture.
In addition, there are now alternative as-a-service models offering new approaches to opex-/consumption-based infrastructure. These offer “cloudy” features such as rapid deployment and self-service functions combined with dedicated resources.
In this report, 451 Research, a division of S&P Global Intelligence, explores new infrastructure choices for SaaS providers taking a lifecycle approach to their current and future IT requirements.
