This question's explanation and your answers so far.
解説
問 19
- ア
正解 The correct answer is ア “ASP”. ASP (Application Service Provider) refers to a provider that offers application software installed on its own server to multiple users via the Internet, or to that service model. Users can use only the functions they need over the network, without purchasing or installing the software themselves. This exactly fits the question’s description of offering an application installed on a server to users via the Internet, so ア is appropriate.
Incorrectイ
An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a provider that offers the Internet connection environment itself to users. What it provides is communication lines and connection services, not application software, so it does not match the question’s description.
Incorrectウ
Outsourcing is a broad concept that refers in general to entrusting one’s own business operations or system operation to an external specialized contractor. It is not a term that denotes the specific service model of offering an application on a server via the Internet, so it is inappropriate.
Incorrectエ
A data warehouse is a large-scale database (or mechanism) that accumulates and integrates business data in time series for decision-making and analysis. It is not a provider that offers software or a service model, so it is unrelated to the question.
ここがポイント
- ASP = a provider or service model that offers applications on a server to users via the Internet. It is a precursor concept to SaaS and is categorized as a kind of cloud service.
- Telling confusing acronyms apart: ISP = provides Internet connection, ASP = provides applications. Distinguish them by what each one provides.
