What distinguishes IaaS from traditional IT infrastructures?

Instead of setting up their own server landscapes and maintaining them permanently, with IaaS companies use flexibly bookable IT resources from the cloud - exactly when they are needed. This reduces fixed costs and enables dynamic scaling.

How does my company actually benefit from Infrastructure as a Service?

With IaaS, you only pay for the services you actually use, such as storage, computing power or network capacities. This is particularly economical with changing workloads - for example, for seasonal applications or in project phases.

When does a hybrid IaaS solution make sense?

If you want to manage sensitive data yourself but also want to benefit from the scalability of the cloud, hybrid IaaS offers the ideal balance - especially if you have strict data protection requirements or compliance guidelines.

How flexible is IaaS in terms of provider selection and integration?

Thanks to CANCOM's multi-cloud expertise, you have access to solutions from various leading providers, including Microsoft Azure and AWS. This allows you to customize the IaaS strategy to your existing systems and requirements.

Which areas of application are particularly suitable for IaaS?

Typical use cases include test and development environments, compute-intensive applications with fluctuating usage or short-term projects. Regularly recurring processes such as monthly financial statements can also be mapped more efficiently.

Book IT resources flexibly and conveniently from the cloud

Flexibility and scalability with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)

With Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), companies receive flexible and scalable cloud computing resources without having to invest in their own hardware or its maintenance. IaaS offers computing power, storage and network resources that are provided and billed as required. This allows workloads in the cloud to be adapted quickly, test and development environments to be used efficiently and costs to be reduced. Whether Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or other IaaS providers, you retain full control over your environment while the hardware and software are hosted by the provider. Public IaaS, Private IaaS or Hybrid IaaS Cloud enable maximum flexibility and efficiency. Thanks to Infrastructure-as-a-Service, companies benefit from high availability, fast provisioning and clearly defined service levels, while IT departments are relieved.

Save on fixed costs with IaaS

High fixed costs often arise when IT resources are provided on a permanent basis but are only used temporarily. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers a remedy here: cloud resources can be flexibly and dynamically adapted to actual requirements. You only pay for the computing power, storage and network capacities that you actually use - for seasonal peaks, recurring tasks or for test and development environments, for example. Whether Public IaaS, Private IaaS or Hybrid IaaS Cloud, companies benefit from fast provisioning, high availability and clearly defined service levels, while the burden on the IT department is reduced. Thanks to IaaS, cloud computing becomes efficient, flexible and cost-saving.

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS: the right cloud model for your requirements

The choice between IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) depends on your company's requirements. IaaS offers maximum control over the IT infrastructure and is suitable for customised applications, complex workloads and virtualised data centres, with flexible scaling and usage-based billing.

PaaS provides a complete development environment without you having to manage the underlying infrastructure. This is ideal for test and development environments that need to be deployed quickly.

SaaS delivers ready-to-use software solutions and minimises the administrative burden.

The combination of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS maximises efficiency, reduces administrative effort and enables fast, cost-effective cloud computing resources with clearly defined service level agreements.

Hybrid IaaS: The ideal combination of flexibility and security

With a hybrid IaaS solution, you combine the advantages of public IaaS Cloud and private IaaS Cloud. Sensitive data can be managed in a secure, private environment, while less critical applications utilise the flexibility, scalability and high availability of the public cloud.

Hybrid IaaS is particularly suitable if you want to fulfil compliance requirements or ensure that critical data remains under your direct control. At the same time, less sensitive workloads can be outsourced to save costs and utilise cloud computing resources efficiently.

This solution offers the optimal balance between security, flexibility and cost optimisation. With Infrastructure-as-a-Service, virtual machines, object storage and middleware can be provided quickly, workloads can be executed in the cloud and IT capacities can be scaled dynamically - ideal for large companies and growing IT requirements.
