Whilst the idea of Software as a Service (SaaS) is increasingly mainstream Hardware as a Service (HaaS) is still a new concept. An example of such a service is Amazon's Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) which was announced in the summer of 2006. EC2 is a computing service based on a Xen hypervisor structure. It allows a developer to create Linux based virtual machines, either from scratch or using pre-built image files. Then, using either a web services API or a script-wrapper around that API, you can quickly deploy to any number of virtual machines.
