Infrastructure as a service is a cloud-based computing application that allows its users to virtualise the organisations resources which can be accessed via cloud. It provides pay-as-you-go services which allows organization to only pay for what they want, which helps in avoiding the expenses and scale up and down with demand. Each resource and service is offered as a separate offering in the Platform, and the system automatically assigns you the resources that you need.
With pre-built disaster management module, Azure provides protection to all the sensitive data to its users. Data in organizations is of utmost importance and Azure disaster management ensures that the data will always be secure and ready to use even when the on-premise installation or live instance suffers a crash.
Some Key benefits of Microsoft Azure Iaas implementation are:
Reduces capital expense — IaaS eliminates the foremost expense of setting up and managing an onsite data centre, making it a smart option for start-ups and businesses testing new ideas.
Enhances business continuity and disaster recovery. Gaining business continuity and disaster recovery is expensive, since it requires a huge number of resources. But with the right service level agreement, IaaS can reduce this cost and access applications and data as usual during a disaster or outage.
Swift Innovation — Necessary computing infrastructure can be ready in minutes at the launch of a new product or initiative, rather than the days or weeks — and sometimes months — it could take to set up internally.
Better focus & response on business conditions. IaaS enables your employees to focus on your organisation’s core business by freeing them from the IT infrastructure challenges. It also allows users to quickly scale resources up or down to match demand.
Improved stability & reliability — With IaaS there is no need to maintain and upgrade software and hardware or troubleshoot equipment problems. With the appropriate agreement in place, the service provider assures that your infrastructure is reliable and meets SLAs.
Better security. With the appropriate service agreement, a cloud service provider can provide security for your applications and data that may be better than what you can attain in-house. Azure services provides full cloud security which is backed by a team of experts and proactive compliance trusted by various organisations, governments and startups.
