Infrastructure consists of Middleware and Resources
Until recently all Applications ran on top of bespoke Infrastructure
Now Infrastructure provision has become a service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service

Increased efficiency in resource utilization
Pay for what you use - low initial investment means organic growth
Great for dealing with surges in demand e.g. viral campaigns
Still more expensive than colocation hosting
High degree of lock-in to a provider despite open protocols
Difficult to compare providers like for like; reliability and SLA issues
Data protection issues
