Customization and the Clouds You Choose

It is important to understand how customization — and the professional services often needed to create it — fits into today’s three main cloud as-a-service models: SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). The goal, in this era of super-fast technology evolution and adoption, is an agile IT environment that can be customized to meet future challenges.

SaaS

Software as a Service is typically delivered via web browser and is the most common type of cloud service. SaaS applications (e.g., Cisco WebEx, Salesforce) tend to be highly standardized and have minimal customization options.

PaaS

Platform as a Service provides a framework (platform) of scalable, highly available software components — middleware — that eliminates the headaches of operating an AppDev infrastructure,

thus keeping app development and deployment simple and cost-effective. Customizations of PaaS may be required to deal with legacy apps, which can spawn a level of complexity that limits PaaS value.

IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service delivers, via dashboard or an API, a highly scalable and automated self-service, virtualization-enabled infrastructure of servers, networks, operating systems, and storage that provides a high degree of control over the IT environment, making IaaS the most flexible of the cloud models.

This flexibility makes IaaS the most customizable of the cloud models — but that comes with a price: IaaS users are responsible for data security, backup, and business continuity. And beware of security issues when migrating legacy apps to an IaaS environment.
