Nasdaq offers multiple service and deployment options for its trading technology solutions to meet different customer needs.   

Delivery and service models include Software as a Service (SaaS), Managed Services, or Client-Managed/Self-Managed.

Deployment options include in the cloud, with edge computing, on premise, and hybrid to support customer optimized setups for production, backup, and test environments.

Managed Services and SaaS (Software as a Service) are both service models where a vendor operates a software application for its client(s). The SaaS model is applied to out-of-the-box solutions that are used by clients without software customizations. SaaS solutions are deployed in the cloud and clients receive recurring upgrades as part of the service. Managed Services means that a vendor manages deployment, hosting, and operation of a software solution for its client. In this model, the solution can be customized, and deployed either in the cloud or on premise.
