How to send large files easily and securely on the internet has long been a challenge for professionals in the architecture, engineering and construction industries. Even the most secure ftp file share solutions can be unreliable and cumbersome, with limited capacity for tracking user updates.

SaaS Primer

What is Software as a Service?

Basically SaaS is a software deployment model in which an application is delivered and managed as a service by a vendor such as DataHive to meet the needs of multiple customers simultaneously.

SaaS solutions are delivered via a network, most often the Internet. They are priced on a subscription service basis, often based on the number of users.

Subscribing to SaaS applications means customers no longer carry the burden of getting and keeping an enterprise application up and running. The burden is shifted to the vendor such as DataHive. Customers can utilize the software functionality without having to deploy and manage the software themselves. As well, customers can eliminate the added costs and complexities of deploying additional hardware and software, or dedicating additional staff resources to support the enterprise application on an ongoing basis.

Subscribing to SaaS applications enables every customer to benefit from the latest technological features without the disruptions and costs associated with software updates and upgrades.

Why is SaaS Becoming Popular?

A mix of market trends is propelling businesses to look at SaaS alternatives to traditional, on-premise software applications. These trends include:

the evolving competitive landscape
the changing requirements of the workplace
the fluctuating economic and ecological situations.

Terminology

What is IaaS?"

IaaS is one of three main categories of cloud computing service. The other two are Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). Infrastructure as a Service is a provision model in which an organization outsources the equipment used to support operations, including storage, hardware, servers and networking components. The service provider owns the equipment and is responsible for housing, running and maintaining it. The client typically pays on a per-use basis.

What is PaaS?"

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a way to rent hardware, operating systems, storage and network capacity over the Internet. The service delivery model allows the customer to rent virtualized servers and associated services for running existing applications or developing and testing new ones. Generally, PaaS focuses on enabling SaaS applications.
