Abstract

Today, the question is less about whether or not to use Infrastructure as a Services (IaaS), but rather which providers to use. Cloud infrastructure services, known as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), are self-service models for accessing, monitoring, and managing remote data center infrastructures, such as compute, storage, networking, and networking services. Instead of having to purchase hardware outright, users can purchase Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) based on consumption, similar to electricity or other utility billing. Most providers offer the core services of server instances, storage and load balancing. When choosing and evaluating a service, it is important to look at issues around location, resiliency and security as well as the features and cost. In order to evaluate which provider best suits requirements.
