By Liz McMillan Cloud computing is commonly described in terms of service-style access: "Infrastructure as a Service" (IaaS), "Platform as a Service" (PaaS), and "Software as a Service" (SaaS) are popular monikers attached to different styles of cloud computing. In the enterprise, however, it is often better to consider an alternative view in which services themselves are part of the infrastructure.
