What is Platform-as-a Service (PaaS)?
A hosted software platform for database applications that runs as a service on the web. The actual application and data is hosted on secure remote servers to facilitate a low-risk entry point into using the applications. It’s very similar to if you have ever used web-based email application such as a Yahoo! or Google Mail account. Applications on the platform can be customized by changing fields, adding dashboard widgets, building reports, or even creating entire applications from scratch.
