Cloud infrastructure refers to the hardware and software components that provide cloud computing services. This includes servers, networking, storage, and virtualization technology.
This infrastructure is physically located in a remote data center, providing customers with the computing resources they need.
Cloud computing and cloud infrastructure are often used interchangeably. Cloud computing is what lets a company use cloud infrastructure to access managed resources — infrastructure services (IaaS), platform services (PaaS), storage, and networking.
Cloud infrastructure is the physical foundation needed to deliver these services, while cloud computing is the service that, built on that infrastructure, lets users access resources without managing their own infrastructure directly.
Cloud infrastructure relies on virtualization technology to abstract computing and storage capabilities away from the physical servers. This lets companies easily use computing infrastructure without directly managing physical hardware assets.
The physical servers in cloud infrastructure provide the computing power a service needs. Located in data centers, multiple servers are organized into clusters.
Network resources transmit the data needed from the cloud and support the connection between users and applications.
Cloud storage is the infrastructure component that stores files within the cloud, letting users make use of their data anytime, anywhere.
Virtualization is the technology that creates virtual versions of computing resources from physical hardware, allowing multiple virtual systems to be created and managed on a single server.
There are three basic cloud architectures, each combining cloud infrastructure in a different way.
Cloud infrastructure dedicated to a single company's exclusive use. A good fit when security and customization matter most.
Cloud infrastructure operated as a resource shared by multiple users and organizations. Lets you scale quickly with no upfront investment.
An environment that combines public and private cloud, letting you move flexibly between the resources of both as needed.
Cloud infrastructure is generally delivered as one of three types, depending on the kind of resources a business needs.
A service that lets you use software delivered over the internet right away. It's ready to use directly through a web browser, with no separate installation or maintenance required.
A service that provides the platform environment needed for application development — operating system, database, development tools, and more. Developers can focus on development without the burden of managing infrastructure.
A service that provides computing infrastructure — servers, storage, networking, and more — in virtualized form. Users can rent exactly the resources they need and configure them freely.
As long as you have an internet connection, you can access and use it anytime, anywhere.
New features and updates are applied to the service the moment they're released.
Manage it easily, with no complex installation or maintenance required.
Access data stored in the cloud anytime and use as much of it as you need.
Built-in real-time data analysis lets you view insights without any separate tools.
