Anything as a service (XaaS) is an exhaustive term to describe the
online cloud services that are available and those which will be available for the next generation corporate world. Anything as a service can offer hardware and software services over the internet individually as well as an integrated package.
XaaS is a form of service that includes everything like infrastructure, software,
applications and much more that would allow the businesses to adopt the new technologies and change with the changing market seamlessly. It is synonymous to Everything as a Service (XaaS). Anything as a Service reconfirms how deep the cloud technology is going and what else it will offer to the users.
The XaaS providers offer it as a service using the
hybrid cloud computing form. It refers to either one or a combination of any or all the services of
IaaS, PaaS,
SaaS, DRaaS and others and offers them as a service. This will make cloud services more affordable as the end-users will subscribe and pay only once for the services they are using. The primary motive of the XaaS providers is to get a commitment on volume of business from the end users while eliminating the need for the users making any capital expenditure on infrastructure and other services.
