Lenovo announced Lenovo TruScal Infrastructure Services, its comprehensive as-a-Service offering. Lenovo TruScale is a subscription-based offering that allows customers to use and pay for data center hardware and services – on-premise or at a customer-preferred location – without having to purchase the equipment.
Lenovo is introducing Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services, a new take on procuring IT resources via a consumption-based, subscription model. With this new consumption model, customers never take capital ownership of the hardware or other IT assets and pay for what they use each month as part of their operating expenses.
The Lenovo TruScale offering is unique in that it is a true consumption-based model with no required minimum capacity commitment. With Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services, customers only pay for capacity when their workloads are actively running. Additionally, capacity can be scaled up or down to accommodate business needs, ensuring IT infrastructure is right-sized, all the time. Lenovo’s unique metering solution remains outside of the customer’s data plane – providing the advantages of cloud-like economics with the security of on-premise hardware.
“Lenovo’s TruScale as-a-Service offering is truly revolutionary, changing how IT departments procure and refresh their data center infrastructure. With our subscription-based model, customers pay for what they use, eliminating upfront capital purchase risk, Our offering can be applied to any configuration that meets the customer’s needs – whether storage-rich, server-heavy, hyperconverged or high-performance compute – and can be scaled as business dictates.”” said Laura Laltrello, Vice President and General Manager of Services at Lenovo Data Center Group.
“Lenovo is accelerating our customers’ Intelligent Transformation and digital journey by providing them with a new way of securing and deploying infrastructure. By eliminating the capital expense of purchasing IT equipment and replacing with a subscription model, customers can now focus on supporting their business growth, knowing that they’ll have the right flexibility across their environment, Lenovo TruScale Infrastructure Services combines the economic flexibility of cloud with the security of on-premise data, giving customers more agility, efficiency and simplicity in how they operate” said Roderick Lappin, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Lenovo Data Center Group.
“At Lenovo, we always start by understanding our customers’ strategic objectives. Agility is one of the most challenging issues that we often see amongst our customers, particularly in Asia Pacific where the landscape is so diverse that they are as likely to be a small startup as they are to be an enterprise. As customers look to refresh their data center from legacy, older infrastructure to more workload-based infrastructure, Lenovo TruScale’s flexibility and agility will be crucial in providing effective and cost-efficient solutions for their data center needs without locking them into rigid architectures or software,” commented Sumir Bhatia, President, Asia Pacific, Lenovo Data Center Group.
