A company is launching a project that requires flexible access to a wide array of IT services over the internet, including infrastructure, platforms, and applications, without owning or maintaining the underlying hardware. Which cloud service approach best caters to these requirements?
Implementing an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model
Developing a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution
Anything as a Service (XaaS) provides access to a wide range of IT services over the internet, including infrastructure, platforms, and applications. This allows the company to utilize and pay for only the services they need without the burden of owning or maintaining hardware. XaaS encompasses IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, offering comprehensive flexibility.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) only provides virtualized computing resources but does not include platforms or applications. Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers platforms for developers but not the underlying infrastructure or ready-to-use applications. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers software applications but doesn't provide control over infrastructure or platforms. Therefore, XaaS best meets the project's requirements for flexible access to a broad range of IT services.
