Example Analysis of Cloud Services
Abstract
Cloud computing is reshaping the computing and Internet landscape. XaaS (acronym for “Anything-as-a-Service”) plays a vital role in the evolution of cloud computing which refers to any of an increasing number of services provided over the Internet that have been traditionally provided locally. The as-a-Service model is gaining popularity in the computing world. It is about services instead of technologies because users usually care about the services they are getting. Users generally do not worry even about the technologies or resources involved. A host of providers including Amazon (AMZN), Salesforce.com (CRM), IBM (IBM), Oracle (ORCL) and Microsoft are helping corporate clients use the Internet to tap into everything from extra server space to software that helps manage customer relationships. This paper focuses on expanded delivery services of cloud computing. The offerings from some cloud service providers are analyzed and discussed in this paper
