What is infrastructure as a service (IaaS)?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a web service that provisions hardware, storage and server equipment through a cloud computing environment. This infrastructure as a service model frees up resources you’d otherwise use to house, run and maintain the equipment. An IaaS approach is ideal for resource intensive activities, such as development and testing and other dynamic workloads.
