XaaS (Everything as a Service)

What is XaaS?

XaaS (Everything as a Service) is a concept in which all IT resources and services are provided via the internet. This includes familiar models such as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service), but also specialized services such as Backup as a Service (BaaS) or Security as a Service (SECaaS). XaaS enables companies to design their IT flexibly and scale it as required.

Advantages and possible applications

XaaS offers cost efficiency, as resources and services can be used and paid for on demand. It enables companies to focus on their core competencies as they do not need their own IT infrastructure. Typical areas of application are cloud computing, data analytics and artificial intelligence. XaaS enables companies to react more quickly to market requirements and increase their ability to innovate.
