Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Scalability

One enormous advantage of an IaaS arrangement is the incredible scalability of the system. As all the computing and server infrastructure is provided offsite via the cloud, you’ll have access to as much or as little computing power as needed.

With a self-managed physical onsite network, increasing network availability means investing in new hardware and staff to operate it. Conversely, a reduction in computing needs means that valuable hardware will go underused.

IaaS negates this issue by providing on-demand access to network servers according to your needs at the time. If you experience a spike in network traffic, it can immediately be directed to additional servers ready to handle the load.

Or, if your network traffic falls, you’ll only be billed for what you actually use instead of relying on undercapitalized physical hardware.

High Availability

Another benefit of IaaS is the promise of increased availability, owing to the redundancy of the cloud-based network your data relies upon.

When used in concert with a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering, IaaS gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your data will be redundantly protected and your networks can be back up in running at a moment’s notice should an interruption occur.

Effective Resource Deployment

With IaaS, the hosting provider becomes your IT department, allowing you to deploy your company’s resources more effectively toward the ultimate goal of growing your business.
