IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) empowers you to migrate traditional on-premise applications to hardware located in TEAM Cloud’s regions. This transition offers heightened performance and reliability, coupled with a simplified cost structure and scalable pricing that accommodates application growth.

Maintaining on-premise data centres entails initial investments and ongoing management responsibilities, including space allocation, maintenance, business continuity, power, software licensing, and security. The need for substantial personnel to support data centre operations further adds to the challenges. In contrast, IaaS facilitates the safe migration of applications to the cloud, provided licensing and support agreements permit.  Through our partnership with Oracle, TEAM Cloud is able to provide a similar range of IaaS services equivalent to any Oracle Cloud region globally. The comprehensive range of TEAM Cloud’s IaaS services collaboratively delivers a stable and reliable solution, encompassing:

Examples of IaaS Utilisation

IaaS finds application across various business scenarios:

1. Test and Development: DevOps teams leverage IaaS to swiftly establish and dismantle test and development environments, enabling the accelerated delivery of new applications to the market at a reduced cost.

2. Traditional Applications: IaaS accommodates the needs of both cloud-native applications and traditional enterprise applications, encompassing ERP systems and business analytics applications.

3. Website Hosting and Apps: Numerous businesses optimise costs by running their websites on IaaS platforms. Additionally, IaaS facilitates the rapid deployment and scalability of web and mobile applications.

4. Storage, Backup, and Recovery: Managing on-premises storage, data backups, and disaster recovery demands considerable time and expertise. Transitioning infrastructure to the cloud via IaaS not only reduces costs but also allows businesses to redirect their focus to other critical tasks.

5. High-Performance Computing: The pay-as-you-go model inherent in IaaS renders high-performance computing (HPC) and other data-intensive, project-oriented tasks more cost-effective, providing businesses with flexibility and affordability.
