The "as-a-service" model describes a general category of services related to cloud computing and remote access. Organizations are adopting these pay-as-you-grow business models as a method for delivering just about everything, while providing a flexible consumption model rather than as an upfront purchase or license.
Because XaaS stands for "Anything as a Service" the list of examples are endless.
Some of the many services emerging include:
SaaS - Software as a Service
HaaS - Hardware as a Service
NaaS - Networking as a Service
DaaS - Desktop as a Service
SECaaS - Security as a Service
IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service
DRaaS - Disaster Recovery as a Service
RaaS- Ransomware as a Service
MaaS- Monitoring as a Service
ITaaS- IT as a Service
What are the benefits of XaaS?
XaaS provides several benefits; improving the expense model, speeding new applications and business processes and shifting IT resources.
Improving the expense model (CapEx vs. OpEx): XaaS provides organizations the ability to move from a capital expenditure (CapEx) model to an operational expenditure (OpEx) model by cutting costs and moving to a predictable spending habit by purchasing services from providers on a subscription basis. Before cloud services and XaaS models, organizations has to buy individual products (software, hardware, security, infrastructure, etc.), install them on site, and then begin the process of then linking everything together to create networks. With XaaS, organizations simply purchase what they need and pay as they go.
Speeding new applications and business processes: XaaS provides the much needed flexibility that allows organizations to quickly adapt to changing market conditions with new apps or solutions via cloud services. Whether you need access to new technologies, or need to scale your infrastructure, it is as simple as adding or subtracting services as needed.
Shifting IT resources: Many organizations are turning to XaaS to streamline their operations and free up their internal IT resources for higher-value projects and innovation. XaaS also helps organizations transform digitally and become more agile.
