In part 1 and part 2 of my blog series on Amazon Web Services storage, I talked about various available storage options in AWS. Since cost is one of the drivers in moving to the cloud, in this blog, I will focus on the cost factors and some typical use cases of the different storage…
The “X” in “XaaS” is tantalizingly broad. It stands in for “anything.” Yet for many organizations, the definition of “the cloud” still revolves around three primary use cases: of Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
