Q: What is the difference between Hardware as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service?
Hardware as a Service (HaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) are both models designed to alleviate the costs and complexities of owning and maintaining IT infrastructure. However, they operate on distinct levels and offer different sets of services. HaaS primarily revolves around the physical hardware aspect of IT. Instead of a business purchasing and owning their IT equipment, such as servers, computers or networking hardware, they lease or rent it from a provider for a set period. This often includes the hardware’s maintenance, upgrades and even IT support.
On the other hand, IaaS is a cloud-based service where the provider supplies virtualized computing resources over the internet. It transcends just the hardware to offer a complete virtualized environment where clients can run their applications. This means businesses using IaaS don't even need to think about the physical hardware; they get access to computing power, storage and other resources as services. In essence, while HaaS offers physical hardware as a service, IaaS delivers virtualized infrastructure components via the cloud.
