👉 Vendors computing, often referred to as vendor computing or vendor-managed infrastructure (VMI), is a cloud computing model where third-party vendors provide the infrastructure, hardware, and services needed to support a customer's computing needs. In this model, the vendor is responsible for managing and maintaining the underlying resources, such as servers, storage, networking equipment, and software, ensuring they are always optimized for performance and security. Customers typically pay for the services provided by the vendor, which can include on-demand resource allocation, dedicated resources, or a combination of both. This approach allows businesses to scale their IT resources flexibly and efficiently without the need for significant upfront capital investment in hardware or ongoing maintenance costs. Vendors can offer a range of services, from basic hosting and data storage to more complex solutions like artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms, thereby simplifying IT management for their clients.
