Optimized IT infrastructure provides high-performance, low-latency, and secure systems for organizations. You can optimize your current IT infrastructure by combining traditional approaches to infrastructure with support from cloud services. For example, you can use infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS).
You can use IaaS to access virtualized computing resources. By working with IaaS providers, you can use networks, servers, virtual machines, and storage systems that the cloud provider offers to you. IaaS offers a business a high degree of scalability and flexibility, as it can rent more resources to accommodate a higher demand.
PaaS is another way to access your cloud providers' tools and applications. PaaS is beneficial in development, as it provides a new environment where you can build, test, and deploy applications. PaaS providers also help automate development stages, which reduces the work you or your developers must do during setup.
