What is IAAS? It is Infrastructure as a Service. Cloud.com launched a scalable IAAS service offering. By definition, IAAS needs to be scalable. The same with any Virtualization service. Why? Because the customer is expecting these services - anything in the Cloud - to grow on demand for them.
IAAS is when your Managed Service Provider, like Host.Net, provides all of the computing hardware - the platform if you will - for your software applications (like office suites, CRM, ERP, EMR, et al) to reside on for global access. It has also been called Platform as a Service (PAAS).
Bottom line: as Host.Net explains, IAAS and PAAS means that you (the customer) can deliver apps but get out of the data center business. Host.Net further explains that they take you out of the hardware business!
