Hardware as a service comes in two different forms - the on-premise Haas and the cloud-based. The on-premise Haas allows businesses to rent or lease physical computers and other IT components. Usually, this includes IT equipment and devices used in a normal office. The IT provider installs, maintains, repairs, and upgrades this equipment for a free or with minimal fee.
Meanwhile, cloud-based Haas offers businesses a pay as you go service using the cloud. This includes website hosting that allows multiple users to get access to the data and information virtually anywhere. The IT provider ensures the safety and security of the business' data and information, however, there is always a risk for exposure and unauthorized access.
