as a service
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2016) |
"X as a service" (rendered as *aaS in acronyms) is a phrasal template for any business model in which a product use is offered as a subscription-based service rather than as an artifact owned and maintained by the customer. Originating from the software as a service concept that appeared in the 2010s with the advent of cloud computing,[1][2] the template has expanded to numerous offerings in the field of information technology and beyond it. The term XaaS can mean "anything as a service".[a]
The following is an alphabetical list of business models named in this way, including certain forms of cybercrime (criminal business models).
B
[edit]Backend as a service (BaaS)
[edit]Banking as a service (BaaS)
[edit]Blockchain as a service (BaaS)
[edit]Blockchain as a service (BaaS) is an enterprise-level software service[13] that allows businesses to use cloud-based solutions to build, host and use their own blockchain apps, smart contracts and functions on the blockchain infrastructure developed by a vendor. Just like the growing trend of using software-as-a-service (SaaS)[14]
where access to the software is provided on a subscription basis, BaaS provides a business with access to a blockchain network of its desired configuration without the business having to develop their own blockchain and build in-house expertise on the subject.[15]C
[edit]Content as a service (CaaS)
[edit]Crimeware as a service
[edit]D
[edit]Data as a service (DaaS)
[edit]Database as a service (DBaaS)
[edit]With a database as a service model (DBaaS), users pay fees to a cloud provider for services and computing resources, reducing the amount of money and effort needed to develop and manage databases.[20] Users are given tools to create and manage database instances, and control users. Some cloud providers also offer tools to manage database structures and data.[21] Many cloud providers offer both relational (Amazon RDS, SQL Server) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Amazon DynamoDB) databases.[21] This is a type of software as a service (SaaS).
Data management as a service (DMaaS)
[edit]Data management can also be done through the "as a service" business model, according to the book Data Management as a Service for Dummies.[22]
DDoS as a service (DDoSaaS)
[edit]DDoS-as-a-Service (DDoSaaS) is a cybercrime model in which individuals can hire hackers to execute an distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against a specified target for a fee, typically paid in cryptocurrency, making such attacks more accessible to those without technical expertise.[23]
Desktop as a service (DaaS)
[edit]Remote desktop virtualization can also be provided via cloud computing similar to that provided using a software as a service model. This approach is usually referred to as cloud-hosted virtual desktops. Cloud-hosted virtual desktops are divided into two technologies:
- Managed VDI, which is based on VDI technology provided as an outsourced managed service, and
- Desktop as a service (DaaS), which provides a higher level of automation and real multi-tenancy, reducing the cost of the technology. The DaaS provider typically takes full responsibility for hosting and maintaining the computer, storage, and access infrastructure, as well as applications and application software licenses needed to provide the desktop service in return for a fixed monthly fee.
E
[edit]Energy storage as a service (ESaaS)
[edit]Exploit as a service (EaaS)
[edit]Other "EaaS" business models
[edit]Under the acronym EaaS, the following business models have been discussed in journals and conferences:
- Edge as a service[27]
- Encryption as a service[28]
- Energy as a service[29]
- Evaluation as a service[30]
F
[edit]Function as a service (FaaS)
[edit]G
[edit]Games as a service (GaaS)
[edit]Ground segment as a service (GSaaS)
[edit]GSaaS means outsourcing ground operations to a third-party provider by the satellite operators.[32][33][34]
I
[edit]Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
[edit]Integration platform as a service (IPaaS)
[edit]IT as a service (ITaaS)
[edit]K
[edit]Knowledge as a service (KaaS)
[edit]L
[edit]Logging as a service (LaaS)
[edit]Lighting as a service (LaaS)
[edit]M
[edit]Mobility as a service (MaaS)

[edit]S
[edit]Search as a service (SaaS)
[edit]Security as a service (SECaaS)
[edit]Software as a service (SaaS)
[edit]T
