Out of the three types of cloud services, IaaS—which is typically used for cloud storage—strikes a balance between offering the user assistance while still letting them have a hands-on approach to management. With an IaaS model:
You manage: Applications, data, runtime, middleware, and operating systems.
The service provider manages: Virtualization, servers, storage, and networking.
Along with the management of the infrastructure, the service provider also resolves any problems regarding hardware issues, outages, and repairs. To see a full overview, users can access everything through an API—application programming interface—or dashboard.
With PaaS, users have the luxury of controlling their applications and data without having to worry about the hardware and software behind it. An example of this is Kyocera’s Hybrid Platform for Advanced Solutions™ which lets you expand your multifunctional printer’s core capabilities.
You manage: Applications and data
The service provider manages: Runtime, middleware, operating systems, virtualization, servers, storage, and networking.
Just like the IaaS model, the service provider also takes care of repairs and maintenance issues. However, unlike IaaS, both the hardware and software will be covered by the provider should anything go wrong.
SaaS models allow the user to be totally hands free. Therefore:
You manage: Nothing
The service provider manages: Everything
Users can view everything from their API or dashboard but can otherwise rest easy knowing the service provider is in control.
