Problems Infrastructure as a Service Solves
Today’s companies have to stay nimble as conditions shift and business needs fluctuate. Being able to justify new hardware expenses, gearing up to survive a manmade or natural disaster and preventing your business from becoming vulnerable to cyberthreats are all problems infrastructure as a service solves.
There are various types of cloud computing, each beneficial in a different and specific way. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) plays a critical role in the success of any business and is one of three main types of cloud computing services, along with software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS). Managed cloud services can be partial or complete (involving one or all three types of cloud computing) and offer oversight and control of your cloud platform.
Scaling, Streamlining, Saving Money
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet. Such services include: servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and intelligence. With managed cloud services you can protect valuable data, boost business productivity, accommodate growth and fluctuations, simplify remote work, decrease hardware expenses and much more.
According to recent reporting on cloud adoption, 94 percent of business enterprises use a cloud service and 30 percent of all IT budgets are allocated toward cloud computing. Many organizations globally have adopted cloud computing in some form and digitally transformed the way they do business. Infrastructure as a service is one of the many ways cloud computing helps transform the way a business operates.
What Is Infrastructure as a Service?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that offers essential computing, storage and networking resources on demand on a pay-as-you-go basis. IaaS solutions give you the flexibility to scale your IT resources up and down on demand, quickly provision new applications and increase the reliability of your underlying infrastructure.
Migrating your organization’s infrastructure to an IaaS solution will help you reduce maintenance of on-premise data centers, save money on hardware costs and gain real-time business insights.
A Detailed Look Into IaaS and Key Benefits
Infrastructure as a service allows you to bypass the cost and complexity of buying and managing physical servers and data center infrastructure. A managed IT services provider will utilize cloud computing software like Microsoft Azure to modernize your IT with an enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and migrate your applications to the cloud.
