Platform as a service (PaaS) is the delivery of a computing platform and solution stack as a service. It facilitates deployment of applications without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers, providing all of the facilities required to support the complete life cycle of building and delivering web applications and services entirely available from the Internet - with no software downloads or installation for developers, IT managers or end-users.

PaaS offerings include workflow facilities for application design, application development, testing, deployment and hosting as well as application services such as team collaboration, web service integration and marshalling, database integration, security, scalability, storage, persistence, state management, application versioning, application instrumentation and developer community facilitation. These services are provisioned as an integrated solution over the web.

As the leading education and training organization within the IT Service Management (ITSM) industry, we have watched with enthusiasm as cloud computing, Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Storage Management have evolved over the years. The opportunities provided through PaaS and Storage Management have allowed for significant growth within an industry that continues to mature and develop at a rapid pace.

The primary goal of this book and its accompanying online course is to provide the quality education and support materials needed to enable the understanding and application of PaaS Platform and Storage Management in a wide-range of contexts.
