 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Market: Overview

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) refers to the business model which works on delivering information technology (IT) infrastructure like storage, network, and other resources depending on the requirements of the client influenced by the pay-as-you-go foundation with the aid of the internet. The companies using the services are responsible for maintaining, deploying, or supporting the applications whereas the responsibility of maintaining the physical infrastructure is with the IaaS provider.

With the use of the business model, companies can effectively reduce the burden of investing heavy resources in the initial phases of a project since IaaS is designed to help reduce the cost of IT Infrastructure.

IaaS comes with its set of growth restrictions in terms of multiple factors with the major influencing factor being the lack of visibility along with authentication concerns. Factors like inadequate access rights management, weak passwords, or inadequate attention to client verification or authentication can lead to severe consequences that are not limited just to data leaks. This generally occurs when the clients are permitted rights that they may not necessarily need.

Opportunities
