MCaaS Blueprints
In this section of the Playbook you can learn about the capabilities of the FAS Cloud Service (FCS).
MCaaS Blueprints
MCaaS is a cloud-native solution that provides a pre-packaged, deployment-ready environment so tenants can focus on their application return on investment (ROI), empowering increased efficiencies related to cost, resource, time to market, risk, and resource allocation.
