Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

What is IaaS?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides virtualized computing resources such as servers, storage, and networking without requiring an organization to buy and maintain the underlying physical hardware.

How does IaaS work?

The provider owns and manages the physical infrastructure, while the customer uses the computing, storage, and networking resources it needs. The customer typically manages its own operating systems, applications, and data.

Why is IaaS important?

IaaS gives organizations a flexible way to add or scale infrastructure without making large up-front hardware investments. IaaS helps organizations free up time for their internal IT teams. It also speeds up system deployment and enables teams to adjust the capacity of various systems whenever business needs change.
