Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a provision model in which an organization outsources the equipment used to support operations, including storage, hardware, servers, and networking components. The service provider owns the equipment and is responsible for housing, running, and maintaining it.

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

Definition

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a category of cloud computing that enables subscribers to build applications and services over the Internet while renting the hardware, operating systems, storage, and network capacity to run those apps from a PaaS provider.

“At its core, PaaS eliminates the expense and complexity of evaluating, buying, configuring, and managing all the hardware and software needed for custom-built applications.”- Salesforce.com
