Benefits of IaaS vs. physical infrastructure

With infrastructure as a service (IaaS), organisations need not manage their own physical infrastructure. For many New Zealand businesses where IT isn’t a part of their core strategic focus, offloading the responsibility for managing networking, storage, servers and virtualisation makes great strategic sense. They gain flexibility and scalability not possible with on-premises and no longer need to maintain the infrastructure powering their operations.

IaaS vs. PaaS: What’s the right fit for my business?

For many businesses, both IaaS and PaaS have a role to play. The two functions are different but not necessarily in competition with one another. IaaS examples include an organisation offloading the management of hardware functions but maintaining control of O/S, middleware, runtime, and applications and data. Within that context, an organisation might also utilise a PaaS program such as Microsoft Azure to provide a contained and managed platform in which developers can build applications and work with data.

PaaS is the right fit for development workflows, especially when working with vendors or building custom apps. PaaS keeps your devs focused on developing, not on maintaining the environment. IaaS is a great fit for businesses large and small that don’t want to manage or maintain hardware and that do want to maintain control of O/S, middleware and/or runtime. It’s ideal for any New Zealand organisation that prefers a pay-as-you-go model for infrastructure or who are growing rapidly and need scalability

Frequently asked questions

What is the process for infrastructure migration?

The process can vary depending on what and how much infrastructure your organisation is migrating from on premises to IaaS. Some applications can migrate easily to a cloud-native solution. Others require a lift-and-shift approach, where an application moves wholesale to IaaS, while some applications must be rebuilt entirely within a cloud or IaaS environment.

Does CBS’s IaaS solution have strong interoperability?

Yes, CBS’s IaaS solutions operate seamlessly across various cloud platforms. With a variety of network options, giving endless flexibility to connect into various platforms and applications.

What is the difference between IaaS and PaaS?

Infrastructure as a service, as the name implies, provides all the infrastructure an organisation needs to operate in the cloud. What the organisation does in the environment (from the O/S level downward) is up to the organisation itself. PaaS, on the other hand, controls or provides the O/S, middleware, and even the runtime, leaving organisations a prebuilt environment in which to work with data and develop applications.


What are the three main components of IaaS?

The three main components of IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, encompass computing resources, networking resources, and virtual machines. As a cloud computing model, IaaS offers essential cloud infrastructure resources, which include underlying infrastructure, operating systems, and more, provided by a cloud service provider.
