Description

• Search-as-service is based on the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. SaaS applications are also known as Web-based software, on-demand software, and hosted software. The term "software as a service" (SaaS) is considered to be part of cloud computing, along with infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Software as a Service (SaaS) extends the idea of the ASP model. While most ASP's focus on managing and hosting third-party independent software vendors' software, SaaS vendors typically develop and manage their own software. SaaS solutions normally utilize a multitenant architecture, in which the application serves multiple businesses and users.
