Platform as a Service (PAAS) solutions represent an innovative approach to hosting and managing online applications. Businesses looking to develop, deploy and maintain complex web applications can benefit significantly from using PAAS solutions.
Definition
Platform as a Service (PAAS) is a cloud computing model that provides a complete development and deployment environment for applications. Unlike Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) which provides hardware resources, and Software as a Service (SaaS) which offers ready-to-use software, PAAS sits in between providing a complete platform for development , testing, deployment and management of applications.
