Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a form of cloud computing where a third-party provider hosts virtual computing resources over the internet on behalf of the client.

A provider can host hardware, software, servers, storage and other traditional physical infrastructure components on behalf of its users.

IaaS providers also host users’ applications and handle tasks including system maintenance, backup and resiliency planning.

Why IaaS?

IaaS platforms offer highly scalable resources that can be adjusted on-demand, qualifying IaaS to be well suited for workloads that are temporary, experimental or can change unexpectedly.

IaaS also allows for automation of administrative tasks, dynamic scaling, desktop virtualisation and policy-based services.

Geraldton Data Centre, as an IaaS provider, manages and controls the underlying cloud infrastructure, while the customer has control over operating systems, storage and deployed application. The client also has limited control of select networking components.

As a measured service, IaaS can be monitored, controlled and reported, providing complete transparency and assurance for the client.
