Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud computing model where Tech Services offers private cloud and IT resources like virtual servers, and storage. It eliminates the need to buy, manage, and maintain physical data centers, allowing districts to pay only for resources used. 

Key Features and Benefits:

• Virtualization: Replaces physical hardware with virtual machines (VMs).
• Cost Efficiency: Shifts costs from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational (OpEx)
• Scalability: Allows users to rapidly scale up or down based on demand.
• Control: Offers complete administrative control over operating systems, applications, and middleware.
• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Ensuring data security and swift restoration in case of failure.
