Leveraging Managed Service (as-a-Service) Solutions

Historically, as shown in FIGURE 12-2, businesses moved to the cloud to leverage SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions. As the cloud capabilities have expanded, cloud providers now offer a broad range of “as-a-service” solutions:

An outer circle represents cloud and the innermost circle represents solutions. Another circle surrounding the solutions is divided into five equal sectors representing the following: security as a service, authentication as a service, storage as a service, database as a service, and disaster recovery as a service.

FIGURE 12-2 Managers must know the availability and pros and cons of cloud-based as-a-service solutions.

  • Database as a service (DBaaS)

  • Identity as a service (IDaaS)

  • Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)

  • Security as a service (SECaaS)

  • Call center as a service (CCaaS)

  • Analytics as a service (AaaS)

  • Big data as a service (BDaas)

  • Desktop as a service (DaaS)

  • IT as a service (ITaaS)

As a manager, you should evaluate your current business use cases and needs and determine the suitability of a cloud-based as-a-service solutions. Recall the Oracle MySQL Cloud from Chapter 6, “Data Storage in the Cloud,” for example. The Oracle MySQL Cloud was a DBaaS solution that allows developers to quickly spin up a MySQL database in the cloud without having to spin up a server and install and configure MySQL. In this way, the developers can focus on database development as opposed to database administration.
