What is Infrastructure as a Service?
Infrastructure as a Service is an IT delivery model through which an organization leverages the power of third-party mega-servers to support a vast range of operational needs, including computing power, big data analytics, or storage.
Alongside Platforms as a Service (PaaS), IaaS offers businesses a fully managed solution for securely hosting easily scaled custom software applications. Viewed in the context of the client/vendor relationship, the service provider (e.g. Google) owns, houses and maintains all the equipment, and customers pay on a per-use, or on-demand, basis for access to computing power and storage capacity.
