Cloud Infrastructure as a Service is the capability offered to the clients so as to provide them with processing, storage, networking and other computing resources. The mission is to tender the clients with facilities that can help to run their processes in a fairly good and cheap manner. All the resources are managed and housed at vendor’s place without troubling the clients. The clients do have control over operating systems, storage, deployed applications along with limited control over networking components as well. If you are looking for such services that consult a reputed vendor whose infrastructure has following characteristics -:
1) Self sufficiency -: The clients after hiring the IaaS services must be able to independently handle the assigned resources without any professional assistance and intervention.
2) Dedicated network connectivity -: The resources assigned are available through internet connectivity and thus the service provider must offer the same as per client’s platforms.
3) Serving multiple tenants -: The resources are shared by many clients so as to minimize the cost burden. The vendor should have absolute security system so that the data of the tenants remain protected and confidential. The clients belong to diverse locations and are unaware of the geographical location of the IaaS setup as well. The resources shared include -: storage, processing (compute), memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines.
4) Dynamic scaling -: The provision to scale in or out the resources help the clients to manage the resources and cost both at the same time. However, the vendor has vast amount of resources that can be hired at any point of time.
5) Metered services -: resources hired and used can easily be monitored, controlled and reported so as to get the exact information for the final billing model. The process offer transparency to both the provider and the client thereby maintaining the faith and reliance altogether.
