What is Infrastructure as a Service?
Infrastructure as a Service, often abbreviated as IaaS, is a cloud model where your organization's entire IT infrastructure—from servers and storage to networks and data center facilities—is managed by an external IaaS provider. Your organization accesses these resources via a secure connection as if they were your own, without the burden of purchasing, managing, or maintaining physical hardware.
An Infrastructure as a Service provider like Fundaments uses virtualization technology to transform physical hardware into flexible, virtual environments. This allows you to scale up or down quickly based on current needs. The IaaS provider ensures the availability, security, and maintenance of the underlying infrastructure layer, while your organization retains full control over its own environments, applications, and data. You benefit from all the advantages of a physical data center, combined with the scalability and flexibility of the cloud.
