All business owners should be regularly evaluating their network, network needs and planning for future growth. But why be your own IT Company?
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is an instant network infrastructure. It is an entire network, provisioned and managed over the Internet. This allows you the flexibility to quickly scale up and down with demand and you only pay for what you use.
We are seeing a rapidly growing trend among small to medium sized businesses, moving to this type of network. According to Statista, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), is predicted to reach $17.5B worldwide in 2018. Household name companies like Amazon currently hold the largest IaaS market share with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and will be competing with other cloud infrastructure services like Microsoft Azure and Google Compute Engine (GCE).
2018 will be the year where adoption of Enterprise Cloud Services improves for businesses of all sizes. It makes sense for a lot of them as it is cost effective, and can fit most budgets. Consumer Cloud Services will skyrocket, Cloud-based File Sharing Services will Increase, Collaboration Services will become more familiar, and Social Media Services will continue to be made applicable to every industry and claim the highest in adoption.
Each IaaS resource is offered as a separate service component, so you only need to rent a particular service for as long as you need it. It also helps you avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing your own physical servers and other network infrastructure. This will free you up to focus on business, versus being an IT expert. The Cloud computing service provider you choose manages the infrastructure, while you purchase, install, configure, and manage your own software—operating systems, middleware, and applications. We are not seeing this as a bandwagon type of technology, so we assist our clients in evaluating this type of network as a viable solution, to see if it’s a good fit for their company.
