7 Types of Computing Platform

 , December 16, 2016
A platform is a toolset for building technology services. This typically includes APIs and user interfaces for configuring, customizing, designing and developing software or infrastructure services. Platforms can be low level or high level, modern or legacy. The following are a common types of computing platform.

Hardware Platform

A line of hardware that are compatible with each other. In many cases, hardware vendors will maintain backward compatibility for decades.

Operating Systems

Operating systems provide a platform for developing and managing software with support for a variety of hardware.

Client/Server

Platforms for client/server software such as web servers.

Mobile Platform

The hardware/software environment for developing mobile apps for a particular type of device.

Cloud Platform

Platforms for developing, deploying and managing cloud infrastructure, software and services.

Platform as a Service

Platforms that offer a complete environment for developing cloud based services.

Third Platform

A buzzword for platforms with support for modern features such as mobile computing, social media, cloud computing, big data and internet of things.
