Techopedia Explains RAP as a Service (RaaS)

Part of the idea behind RAP as a service is that systems diagnosis and troubleshooting can be delivered, like many other kinds of services, over the Web. The idea of software as a service (SaaS) started as new cloud computing models emerged — vendors started to offer more software services directly over the Internet, as opposed to in boxes or through proprietary networks. Over time, other categories were added, such as platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and communications as a service (CaaS).
