Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a foundational cloud computing model that delivers fundamental compute, network, and storage resources to consumers on-demand, over the internet. Alongside Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS), IaaS represents one of the three main pillars of cloud computing.
By migrating infrastructure to an IaaS solution, organizations bypass the cost and complexity of buying and managing physical servers and datacenter infrastructure. Instead, they rent these resources dynamically, empowering them to scale efficiently, reduce capital expenditures, and improve operational agility
- Provides virtualized computing resources (Virtual Machines, Storage, and Networking) online.
- Eliminates on-premises hardware management and maintenance.
- Enables highly flexible, automated scaling based on real-time application demand.
- Shifts IT spending from a Capital Expenditure (CapEx) to an Operational Expenditure (OpEx) using a pay-as-you-go model.
