Infrastructure as a Service

• Infrastructure as a Service - Traditional computing resources such as servers, storage, and other forms of low level network and hardware resources offered in  a virtual, on demand fashion over the Internet.

• IaaS in a general sense, provides the ability to ‘summon’ resources in specific configurations at will and delivers value similar to what one might find in a traditional datacenter.

• IaaS’ power lies in its massive on-the-fly flexibility and configurability. It can be equated to owning a magic wand that could conjure up a variety of network and server resources in zero time and occupying zero space.

• Examples include services like GoGrid, Amazon’s EC2 and even S3 ( as a storage infrastructure play)

Platform as a Service

• Platform as a Service (The space I play in via Apprenda’s SaaSGrid platform) - A runtime-system and application framework that presents itself as an execution environment and computing platform available over the Internet with the sole purpose of acting as a host to application software. Generally, PaaS focuses on enabling SaaS applications, so many well-expected core concepts, such as abstracting away multi-tenancy issues, are expected of any reasonable PaaS offering. Another key concept for PaaS is that it needs to run semi-arbitrary instructions.

• Examples include SaaSGrid and Google AppEngine.  There are also some higher level PaaS offerings with non-traditional IDEs and coding paradigms like Bungee or Force.com that require (IMHO, unnecessarily) new knowledge, skills, and component frameworks.

Software as a Service

• Software as a Service – Specialized software functionality delivered over the Internet to users who intend to use the set of delivered functionality to augment or replace real world processes. Generally speaking, users within the SaaS space are aggregated into ‘tenants’, or bodies of 1 or more categorically related users. Think Salesforce.com CRM, or SugarCRM.
