IaaS Introduction (Infrastructure as a Service)

IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, revolves around moving your core infrastructure equipment to the cloud. No longer do companies need to buy and maintain, Telephone Systems, Servers, Firewalls, Surveillance Systems on their premises. They can now purchase the services like any utility. This provides enormous benefit to the company, but is likely to result in lower requirements for IT staffing.

This guy is a guru, a wizard and the best. The best lecture, broken down to the simplest. Kudos Eli!!!

[nighthawk_]

Thank you Eli... I ran into your tutorials/classes by accident and now I find myself returning on a daily basis. Thanks for teaching and explaining the different IT specialization technologies that I'm currently looking to learn about and what area I want to work/specialize my career around.

Eli explains very clearly these types of concepts to non-IT / tech people.

One of the best explanations of IaaS. Simple and clear. Easy to understand. Thank you.

[jdougcomedy]

That was a FABULOUS explanation. The concept of aas* makes so much more sense now.

It's funny how technology is coming full circle. When I learned about Cloud computing it made me think about the mainframes from back in the 80's. Where you accessed your data from a dumb terminal or if you were remote logging from home to a university, corporate or government site.

Eli, you are awesome. You explain things so nicely. In just 12 minute video I have understood the IaaS concept very nicely.

[AllenPendleton]

Luv your ability to break things down so simplistically. I haven't watched much of your stuff but from what I have seen you are a very good teacher.
