Infrastructure as a service
IaaS delivers fundamental IT infrastructure resources like computers, servers, virtual machines, network, and storage to consumers over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis. It enables users to scale resources on an as-needed basis, reducing the need for high, up-front capital expenditures and the complexity that comes with buying, setting up, and maintaining on-premises infrastructure. The IaaS model offers benefits such as flexibility, cost-efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

Included in the IaaS platform, as a standard,
are the following elements:
- Windows OS Licensing
- Secure Firewall
- Management and Monitoring of Platform 24 x 7
- Hypervisor Platform
- Managed Hypervisor
- Patching and Maintenance of Hypervisor Platform 24 x 7
- Backup
- Encryption of All Data
- Optional Disaster Recovery and Testing
- Advanced Ransomware Protection and Monitoring
- Data Storage in Best Practice 3-2-1 Model ( 3 Copies)
- Management Platform for Self Service
- Deployment of New VMs
- Management of VMs
