👉 Virtual Application Computing (VAT) is a cloud computing service that allows users to rent virtual machines (VMs) with pre-configured operating systems and software environments from cloud providers. This model abstracts the underlying hardware, enabling users to run applications as if they were running on their own physical servers, but without the need for direct hardware management. VAT provides flexibility and scalability, as resources can be dynamically allocated and adjusted based on demand. Users pay only for the compute resources they use, making it cost-effective for both small and large-scale applications. This approach simplifies deployment, maintenance, and management of complex IT environments, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations while leveraging the power of cloud infrastructure.
