Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

Definition:

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that simplifies the provision and administration of applications. Developers can concentrate on their core tasks while the provider manages the technical infrastructure – from provision and maintenance to scaling. This eliminates the need to operate and manage your own servers.

Advantages:

• Faster time to market through ready-made infrastructure and tools
• Scalable resources that can be adjusted as needed
• Lower infrastructure costs because no proprietary hardware is required
• High level of automation that minimizes repetitive tasks
• Increased flexibility for companies that want to be agile

Application in OpenTalk:

OpenTalk offers you a fully integrated platform (PaaS) that simplifies both deployment and administration. Via REST APIs and single sign-on, the platform can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT structures, while OpenTalk provides and manages the technical infrastructure. This allows companies to customize their video conferencing solution without having to worry about operation or scaling. OpenTalk offers both cloud-based SaaS models and on-premise solutions, so that customers can choose between a hosted or self-hosted option.
