Every business relies its operation on a number of applications. Some of these can be acquired through the highly effective Software as a Service (SaaS) model. In other cases, applications need to run on some kind of infrastructure where databases and the applications themselves are installed. This infrastructure can be owned by the company or procured as a service.
What is IaaS and what advantages does it offer?
IaaS is a cloud computing service model that offers virtual resources (servers, storage, network) via the Internet. IaaS platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, manage the underlying infrastructure, offering significant advantages over traditional on-premises infrastructure:
- Cost Efficiency: IaaS eliminates initial expenses (CapEx) for building and managing an on-site data center. Businesses only pay for what they use, eliminating the need to invest in hardware, facilities, or staff.
- Scalability & Flexibility: IaaS platforms offer vast amounts of scalable resources. Businesses can quickly expand or decrease their infrastructure based on their needs.
- Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: All IaaS providers guarantee at least 99.9% uptime and integrate robust data recovery, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions.
- Focus on Core Business: Outsourcing infrastructure and its management frees up a company, especially the IT Department, to focus on core business functions.
- Innovation & Speed: With immediate resource availability and eliminating the time needed for hardware procurement and installation, businesses can start and adapt much faster.
