Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a form of cloud computing that provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. IaaS is one of the three main categories of cloud services, alongside Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
By outsourcing the complexities of physical infrastructure management, IaaS enables businesses to focus on core activities, leveraging a secure, resilient, and adaptable IT environment.
Instead of buying and maintaining physical servers and data center infrastructure, users can access these resources in a virtualized environment, hosted by AvidStack.
IaaS allows organizations to scale up or down quickly in response to demand. This means they can pay for more resources when they need them and reduce capacity when they don't, leading to cost efficiency.
Customer pay on a per-image or per-user basis, similar to how you might pay for utilities like water or electricity. This can lead to significant cost savings compared to the capital expenditure of owning and maintaining your own infrastructure.
While the physical infrastructure is owned, maintained, and managed by AvidStack, the customer maintains control over the virtualized images and software, including operating systems, storage, deployed applications, etc.
This autonomy in managing virtualized images and software translates to customized configurations and optimizations to meet your unique business needs.
One of the significant advantages of IaaS is leveraging the expertise of the provider. IaaS companies invest heavily in maintaining state-of-the-art infrastructure and ensuring high levels of competence and specialization.
By utilizing these services, businesses can benefit from this expertise without having to invest in it directly. This not only saves money but also frees up internal resources to focus on core business activities rather than on infrastructure management.
IaaS offers robust solutions for disaster recovery and business continuity. Due to the virtual nature of the infrastructure, data and applications can be replicated to multiple data centers.
By relying on the IaaS provider's infrastructure and expertise, businesses can ensure a higher level of resilience and continuity without the need for substantial investments in Infrastructure.
