Crucial Technologies has exhausted the available server hardware in its data center but still needs additional servers for a new project. Because the CTO has prohibited purchasing new on-premises hardware, which cloud service model should the company adopt to expand its infrastructure without having to manage the physical hardware?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a cloud service model in which the provider supplies virtualized servers, storage, and networking that would normally reside in a data center. The customer manages the operating system, applications, and data, but the provider handles the underlying physical hardware. Therefore, IaaS lets the company add servers without buying or maintaining physical equipment.
