Top 5 reasons your IT organization should consider Infrastructure as a Service

Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) is rapidly gaining traction across IT organizations. This cloud computing model is projected to grow to $400 billion by 2025 according to a recent study by IDC. There are many advantages to this infrastructure model that underpin this growth.

IT organizations that adopt IaaS note cost, scalability and security as primary drivers for their adoption of this cloud model. IaaS lowers hardware costs and changes your cost structure from a lump-sum capital expense line item to a monthly operating expense line item, making costs more predictable and regulating cash flow. IaaS also offers the ability to expand reliably and quickly, extending computing power to the edge of the network and throughout a distributed organization. With redundancy and multiple layers of protection, IaaS suppliers can maintain ultra-high standards of security, as well.

Benefits of IaaS over traditional in-house infrastructure

1. Reduced costs

• IaaS eliminates the cost of configuring and managing a physical data center.
• The pay-as-you-go subscription models used by IaaS providers help you reduce hardware costs and maintenance and enable your IT team to focus on core business.

2. Increased scale and performance of IT workloads

• IaaS lets you scale globally and accommodate spikes in resource demand.
• Can deliver IT resources to employees from anywhere in the world faster with better performance.

3. Increased stability and reliability

• With IaaS, there's no need to maintain and upgrade software and hardware or troubleshoot equipment problems.

4. Enhanced security

• A cloud service provider can often offer better security for your applications and data than the security you would attain in-house.
• Offers a wide range of additional security services including dedicated or virtual firewalls, DDoS mitigation, vulnerability scanning, host-based intrusion, etc.
• Redundant data centers are located in geographically diverse markets to mitigate natural disasters and other disruptive events.

5. Faster Innovation

• With IaaS, once you've decided to launch a new product or initiative, the necessary computing infrastructure can be ready in minutes or hours, rather than in days or weeks.
