Cloud services are typically categorized into three fundamental models, which provide different levels of management, control, and flexibility.

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This is the raw foundation—providing virtualized servers, storage, and networking on demand. Users manage everything above the hardware level, including operating systems and applications. It’s like renting land: flexible, customizable, but you build and maintain the structure.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): PaaS abstracts away the infrastructure and operating systems, allowing developers to focus purely on application logic. You get pre-configured environments to build, test, and deploy apps without worrying about patching or provisioning. Think of it as a fully stocked workshop ready for use.
• Software as a Service (SaaS): SaaS provides complete, ready-to-use applications delivered over the web. Users access software like email, CRM, or analytics via browser—no installation, maintenance, or hardware concerns. It’s the factory floor: the product is built, tested, and ready to go.

NexQloud supports all three service models—but reimagines them for a decentralized, cost-aware, and compliance-sensitive world:

• For IaaS, NexQloud provides elastic compute and storage across a distributed network of verified nodes. Users get fine-grained control over infrastructure, with transparent pricing and the ability to deploy VMs where cost, energy, or jurisdictional factors matter most.
• In PaaS scenarios, NexQloud enables developers to build with confidence using managed Kubernetes environments that automatically adapt to workload needs. Pre-configured templates and AI-driven orchestration reduce complexity without sacrificing control.
• When it comes to SaaS, NexQloud allows application vendors to deploy services on a globally distributed fabric—reducing latency, avoiding vendor lock-in, and enforcing data sovereignty. SaaS providers benefit from localized performance and compliance-aware scaling, without centralized bottlenecks.

NexQloud’s ecosystem gives you the freedom to choose the service model that fits your use case—then optimize it based on cost, compliance, and sustainability.
