Basic Model
● IaaS (Infrastructure As Service)
● PaaS (Platform As Service)
● SaaS (Software As Service)
FOSSDAY@IIUM2012 9

IaaS
● Provide all the Infra to install OS
● Service are only CPU Core, Memory, Disk Space
and Network bandwidth
● Self service
– OS installation and configuration
– Other services needed by your users
– Yes we need personal with LPI certificate
● Example : Amazon EC2 and Google Compute
Engine

PaaS
● Provide all the need for your software (Computing
platform)
● Service include operating system (PaaS),
programming language execution environment,
database, and web server.
● Self service
– Programming (PHP, Python and C)
● Example : Google Apps Engine (Python & Java)
and Microsoft Azure (PHP & ASP)

SaaS
● Provide all the needed application services
(Email, Website, API, Security and Documents
sharing)

● Own
– Basemap (GeoServer & MapNik)
– Layers (GeoServer & MapNik)
– Database (PostGIS + PostgreSQL)
– Web Map Server (WMS) (Apache + Jboss + Nginx
+ Varnish)
– Client & Web browser (Qgis & Mozilla Firefox)
● Cloud
– Basemap, Layers, Database, WMS (Google Map
API)
