You are the sole IT employee at a small startup. Management asks you to give every employee an email address quickly and with as little administrative overhead as possible. Which cloud service model is best suited to meet this need?
Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully functional applications-such as hosted email-over the Internet. The provider manages all underlying servers, storage, networking, and application maintenance; the customer simply creates user accounts and starts sending and receiving mail. Because SaaS eliminates the need to deploy or configure infrastructure and software, it is the fastest, least-effort way to stand up company-wide email. IaaS supplies raw compute resources, PaaS supplies a development platform, and DaaS supplies complete virtual desktops, none of which alone provide an immediate, ready-to-use email solution.
