Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (Cloud IaaS) Providers
What is Cloud Infrastructure as a Service Providers?
Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platforms offer a wide array of “hosting” features, in varying degrees. IaaS can be thought of as “data center in the cloud”. But unlike traditional data center infrastructure, Cloud IaaS allows consumption of compute, storage, and networking resources via a utility cost model that allows resources to be scaled up or down as required to balance performance against cost effectiveness
