IaaS
About IaaS
Infrastructure
as a service is an online service that provides high-level APIs used to
dereference various low-level details of underlying network
infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data
partitioning, scaling, security, backup, etc.
IaaS
clouds often offer additional resources such as a virtual-machine
disk-image library, raw block storage, file or object storage,
firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, and virtual local area networks
(VLANs), and software bundles.
Why is IaaS important?
IaaS
is advantageous to companies in scenarios where scalability and quick
provisioning are key. IaaS can also be beneficial to companies with
steady application workloads that simply want to offload some of the
routine operations and maintenance involved in managing infrastructure.
Other advantages may include the following:
• Pay for What You Use: Fees are computed via usage-based metrics
• Reduce Capital Expenditures: IaaS is typically a monthly operational expense
• Dynamically Scale: Rapidly add capacity in peak times and scale down as needed
• Increase Security: IaaS providers invest heavily in security technology and expertise
• Future-Proof: Access to the state-of-the-art data center, hardware, and operating systems
• Self-Service Provisioning: Access via simple internet connection
• Reallocate IT Resources: Free up IT staff for higher-value projects
• Reduce Downtime: IaaS enables instant recovery from outages
• Boost Speed: Developers can begin projects once IaaS machines are provisioned
• Enable Innovation: Add new capabilities and leverage APIs
• Level the Playing Field: SMBs can compete with much larger firms
