Hardware as a Service

One of the most significant costs for your small or medium business is the cost of your IT equipment. Essential hardware like servers and workstations require a substantial upfront investment – not to mention the expense of ongoing maintenance.

Many businesses find that they have not properly budgeted for the hardware on which their day-to-day operations rely, which is why the Hardware as a Service (HaaS) model has become so popular.

What Is Hardware as a Service (HaaS)?
In the hardware-as-a-service model, your managed service provider retains ownership of the relevant hardware while it is installed and housed at your site. A managed Network Service contract defines the responsibilities of both parties. In most instances, the cost of leasing the hardware is incorporated into the monthly fee structure for installing, monitoring, and maintaining the hardware.

HaaS as an Operational Expense
A major benefit of Managed Network Services is the ability to budget the costs as an operational expense. Leasing the hardware, as opposed to buying it, can be beneficial to companies with limited cash flow or other budgetary concerns. HaaS operating expenses are fully tax-deductible and a way to lower operating expenses while aggressively improving your IT infrastructure.

HaaS Benefits:

No Up-Front Capital Expense. Lower total cost of ownership over the life of the solution.

Predictable monthly expenses. You’ll have a pre-determined monthly line item, which can help you budget more effectively.

It keeps your equipment up-to-date. Continual access to newer, faster and more productive hardware.

Flexible payment options. Your payment structure can be tailored to fit your specific needs.

Fast implementation. By eliminating upfront capital requirements, you have the ability to implement hardware upgrades whenever you need them.

Reduced risk. Financing your hardware solution mitigates the risk of technology budget surprises.

End of Lease Flexibility. At the end of the lease, the decision to keep, upgrade or buy the equipment is yours.
