SaaS

saas

SaaS is a special, albeit common, case of utility (cloud) computing, in which access to some particular functionality—often but not exclusively user-facing application software—is what is being rented, rather than just the raw computing resources. Examples of SaaS are services like GMail, Twilio, or Salesforce.
