Make as if you are an IT admin and have to install a CRM app like SalesForce for your users.
In this case, SaaS (software as a service) can be viewed as accessing the application directly through your web browser through purchasing of a subscription from SalesForce. This would be the top level in the as-a -service family.
Going a level below, or PaaS ( Platform as a service), this can be viewed as having an operating system like Microsoft Windows server on top of which you install the CRM service for your users.
Going another level below, you have the IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) or server or virtual server provisioned using VMWare where you have to build the whole OS together with installing the application for your users.
Hope this helps.

Hi, in a nutshell, the level of control over the operation, the price you pay for services and the flexibility.
IaaS: you design it according to your needs and requirements it’s usually the cheapest option, but requires more human power.
PaaS: think of it as an environment for the creation (development) of software or services in which you don’t need to control the underlying infrastructure.
SaaS: it’s end-user software completely managed by the provider. In many cases, you can customize it to your needs. It’s usually more costly but requires less human power and less implementation time. You can be up and running faster at the expense of losing some control over your infrastructure.

IaaS, provides you infrastructure services. If you want to buy a home, they provide you good location, good and secure land to build a house. To buy IaaS you need make sure it's a secure, stable and reliable service to run an application inside.
PaaS, provides you platforms. If you want to buy a home, they provide you good house, good building, functional and healthy rooms. To buy Paas you need to consider it's a safe, functional and supporting operating system for your applications.
SaaS, provides you application or software services. If you want to buy a home, they provide you rental house complete with its furniture and appliances. You just enter the house and live inside. SaaS must be built on top of good platform and infrastructure. Also, you need to make sure that applications work as you need
When I researched infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solutions in order to find the one that would best meet my needs, one solution stood out. Windows Azure proved to be the best option for me and it is the solution that I would recommend.
One of the features that really drew me to the Windows Azure cloud platform was its versatility. It is made up of more than 200 products and services that cover a variety of solution categories. These categories include:
1) Application development. Windows Azure gives me the ability to create applications should that particular function be necessary. My organization doesn't need to specially train employees in coding, as Windows Azure enables our developers to produce low-code applications. In addition to making it easy for the average employee to be a productive member of our application development team, we can also leverage serverless development solutions. These enable our team members to quickly turn out powerful applications. Instead of focusing on maintaining application development architecture, they are able to focus on the actual application creation process.
2) AI. When we use Windows Azure, we are able to leverage AI to assist us with a wide array of tasks. We are able to automate basic tasks and solve basic issues through the use of AI. Additionally, we use AI to secure us against hackers and malware.
3) Data and analytics. Windows Azure supplies us with business intelligence capabilities that let us analyze our data and gain deep insights from it.
Hi community,
I'm working at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees.
Please let me know which virtualization software (Oracle VM, Azure VM, Microsoft Hyper-V, Google Compute Engine, VMware, ...) would you recommend for my organization?
Please let me know why would you choose the suggested solution.
I am not sure what workloads you're planning to run on the virtualized platform - databases, SAP, Hadoop, etc. But VMware vSphere is a great virtual platform to run (mixed of different types of workloads).
It is simple to deploy and maintain.
Do you still have 3 tiers of traditional infrastructure? Network Storage and Compute? Do you plan to implement HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure)?

Hi
If you are looking for on-premise VMware would suffice most of your requirements.
However, if you are allowed for Cloud I would recommend to select Microsoft Azure.
I have recently locked the on-premise Data Center to Azure for one of the Healthcare providers in Dubai.

The three main types of cloud computing are SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
Software as a Service, or cloud application services, uses the internet to deliver software applications to its users via a third-party vendor. Most SaaS applications run directly through your browser, which means you don’t need to download or install anything. You can purchase a basic, easy to set up solution right out of the b...

The main difference between SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS is the level of control that the enterprise has with the cloud stack.
