WHAT IS INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Wikipedia:
• Cloud infrastructure services, also known as "infrastructure as a
service" (IaaS), deliver computer infrastructure – typically a platform
virtualisation environment – as a service, along with raw (block)
storage and networking.
• Rather than purchasing servers, software, data centre space or
network equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully
outsourced service.
• Suppliers typically bill such services on a utility computing basis; the
amount of resources consumed (and therefore the cost) will typically
reflect the level of activity.

• Today’s work occurs over multiple locations, whether in different
countries, offices, departments or at home.
• SharePoint enables teams to work together to share and access
business information from virtually anywhere.
• Going with a hosted SharePoint 2010 solution saves customers from
purchasing costly servers and wrestling with hardware and licensing
issues.

secure data centre and delivered to anywhere on any device

server /desktop infrastructure
