Bangalore: XaaS is a collective term that describes a concept of offering many services over the cloud and internet, rather than a local site. Services such as availability of software components, massive scalability, multi-tenancy and device independence are being recommended along with many core components of cloud computing such as communication, infrastructure, data and platforms. According to IT administrators and industrial analysts, the XaaS service list is endless.

Although the model embraces services such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS), at present, XaaS is trending upon topics like Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS), Monitoring-Management-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). A number of vendors such as Google, Microsoft and HP have already been associated with this trend. The core attention of a XaaS model is to provide its customers with a secure cloud computing platform.

As compiled by CIO.com, here’s a list of 9 companies that primarily trends across the XaaS platform.
