Infrastructure-as-a-service -- or the delivery of compute, storage
and network resources via the cloud -- continues to be the fastest-
growing segment of the overall public cloud services
market.

IaaS is a cloud model which allows organizations to
outsource computing equipment and resources such as
servers, storage, networking as well as services, such
as load balancing and content delivery networks.
The IaaS provider owns and maintains the equipment
while the organization rents out the specific services it
needs, usually on a "pay as you go" basis.
Today, the question is less about whether or not to use
IaaS services, but rather which providers to use.

4. The Top Cloud Computing Vendors
• When evaluating IaaS providers, it's important to
look beyond the range of cloud services that are
offered and consider management functions,
monitoring tools, identity management, service level
agreements and customer support.
• I am trying to summarize these key considerations
of several IaaS providers.
• Although this is not a comprehensive list, the
vendors represent a sample of the major IaaS
offerings that are available today.

5. The Top Cloud Computing Vendors
• As you'll notice, some vendors focus on helping
you integrate public cloud services with your
existing infrastructure creating a hybrid
environment. And many offer a free trial so you can
see if their services and management platforms are
right for your organization's needs.
