Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a consistent, extrememechanicalcontribution, where compute resources, perfected by storage and networking competences are owned and hosted by a service provider and offered to customer’s on-demand. Consumers are able to self-provision this infrastructure, using a Web-based graphical user boundary that assists as an IT operations management console for the global environment.

As with all cloud computing services, it provides access to computing resource in a virtualized environment, “the Cloud”, across a public connection, usually the internet. With IaaS, however, the client is given access to virtualized components in order to build their own IT platforms.

IaaS can offer many benefits to enterprise customers to create cost effective and easily scalable IT solutions where the complexities and expenses of managing the underlying hardware are outsourced to the cloud provider.

There are particular benefits where the scale of operations fluctuates, or where a business is looking to expand, as they can tap into the cloud resource as and when they need it rather than purchase, install and integrate hardware themselves.
