What is “as a Service” (aaS)
There’s a good reason cloud services have exploded in adoption across the past few years: they offer many significant benefits over traditional on-premises solutions. The modern Cloud offers many different subscription-based digital services: from a simple file storage program like Dropbox or Google Drive, a virtual server in an offsite data center, to an entire cloud platform like Microsoft 365.
All of these offerings share a common model: instead of being sold as prepackaged software or hardware, they’re provided “as a Service” (“aaS”) for a recurring payment.
