Software as a Service

Applications Delivered From the Cloud

Software as a service (SaaS) means delivering a software application from the cloud, often to users' browsers as a web-based application. You may already use SaaS applications without knowing it. For example, Google's popular Gmail™ service delivers an email client to your web browser from the cloud.

Imagine having only one client application to manage throughout your organization: the web browser already on your users' machines. Imagine having an infrastructure that scales seamlessly to meet spikes in customer demand. Imagine having data flow seamlessly between your cloud-based and on-premise applications.

Making use of a SaaS offering from Dell saves you the costs and headaches of deploying new applications in your own environment by providing hosting for your business. We handle server and software maintenance. You pay only for the resources you use, typically on a subscription. You can start small, with a minimal investment, yet still scale up or down easily, as your needs change. You can even integrate your cloud-based and on-premise applications. This makes it easy to balance your infrastructure outlay with IT demands.
