Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the most basic category of cloud computing services. It aims to give you complete control over the hardware that runs your application. With IaaS, you rent IT infrastructure servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems from a cloud provider on a pay-as-you-go basis. It?s an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the internet.
Why use IaaS?
| Long Term Savings With the server, storage, and networking hardware being off-site at the provider?s location, there are no capital investments that need to be made, maintenance costs incurred, or wasted office space used to store the equipment. | Round the Clock Support Every business which is online faces network-related issues, load problems or sluggishness, hardware failures, server failures, and other software issues which spin your head and consume your time. |
| Strategic Focus Relying on off-site experts to implement and maintain an infrastructure allows internal IT resources to more efficiently and effectively manage certain aspects of their business. | Better Online Performance When you manage your e-commerce website, you have better control over technical factors.
