How XaaS works

XaaS (Everything as a Service) is a business model used to enable the modernization of services that were previously done exclusively through physical resources.

The term came up to summarize the possibilities of services in virtual environments, since before each technological segment had its own nomenclature. Discover the models that integrate Xaas:

SaaS: Software as a Service

Have you ever accessed Google Drive, DropBox or even Netflix? So you've had contact with SaaS companies!

SaaS is an Application Service Provider (ASP) and consists of software that is responsible for managing access and maintaining a company's data security structure. It can be accessed from anywhere, remotely, and does not require installation on the computer, only internet connection.

PaaS: Plataform as a Service 

PaaS or platform as a service is aimed at companies that need to develop their own projects. But how does it work? It's simple: the contracted company provides infrastructure (servers, storage and network), tools and everything else that the client may need to develop their ideas safely.

PaaS is a good alternative for companies that want to reduce costs with purchasing and managing software licenses, application structure and middleware, for example.

IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service

Much like other services, IaaS also uses the form of hosting in the cloud, in addition to providing computing resources such as processing, memory, storage, among others, via the internet or over a private network. High-performance computing, storage, backup, recovery and website hosting are some of the most common IaaS scenarios.

An example of using IaaS is for customers who want to create customized IT solutions and pass on hardware expenses to third-party companies.

Why should you adopt the Xaas model?

XaaS is not a fad, it is here to stay! The model is a growing trend in the area of ​​technology, but here’s a lesson: the greater the value of the investment in its implementation, the greater the flexibility and advantages that the service will offer you. Check out some of them:

Flexibility

By adopting cloud storage, companies are able to access their data from anywhere and at any time, which in itself is a great advantage. During the Covid-19 pandemic, for example, companies that already used the XaaS model took the lead and adapted more easily to the home office.

Protected data

XaaS packages can also be accompanied by monitoring, encryption and constant backup services, thus guaranteeing data protection for the company, its customers and employees.

Cost Reduction

Xaas means that companies do not need to invest in equipment, storage space or maintenance, and thus many costs are reduced.

Higher return on investment

ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much a company made a profit after investing financially in a particular stock. So by reducing costs, a company automatically increases its ROI considerably.

Now that you know a little about the XaaS model, how about learning how to evaluate software companies before hiring services?
