Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a standardized, highly automated offering in which computing resources owned by a service provider, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are offered to customers on demand. (Gartner)

​

Iaas allows you to scale your IT infrastructure with your needs. There is no need to buy expensive servers in advance in anticipation of a future needs for instance. As the need arises such the holiday season sales rush for an e-commerce store, the resources can be ramped up to fulfill the need at that time and then scaled back when that high activity period is over.

​

Buying the latest hardware equipment and constantly keeping it updated is a thing of the past as with cloud infrastructure, you get the best equipment in the industry: the newest Intel processors, the most optimized RAM memory, petabit networking, SSD storage, arrays of GPUs, and even cloud programmable hardware.

​

Upfront costs of buying equipment for a datatcenter and keeping all the hardware updated is completely removed in the IAAS scenario, where a monthly fee is the way forward to achieve cost efficiency. ​With the stakes so high, IAAS providers have the latest technology enabled for providing extremely high levels of security.
