IT as a Service

Designed to allow businesses a flexible way to reduce CAP-EX, IT as a Service is the new offering from Fujitsu called uScale.

Budgets are tight and technology moves fast, typically a company will set aside an annual budget to purchase IT equipment and this has been the case for years. The issues with this are as follows:

IT departments spend months researching the Pros and Cons of many IT solutions to decide if they will work for the business
During this time something new appears that the business isn’t aware of, and this would be a perfect fit, if only they knew
A global pandemic hits and the business must rely on using outdated equipment for a few more years
The global supply chain grinds to a halt and it now takes 3-6 months to receive anything
Inflation increases faster than ever, energy and fuel costs skyrocket
The business doesn’t hit the profits it expected and is forced to make cutbacks and the IT department needs to have a rethink
The original IT budget now looks a little bit light, and the business is forced to find more money or purchase IT equipment that will do the job for now

Is this a familiar story?

Wouldn’t it be great to purchase IT equipment the same way you pay for your mobile phone bill via a monthly subscription? Well now there is, Fujitsu are offering a way for you to grow or shrink your IT via a simple solution called uSCALE and this is IT as a Service. This delivers flexible, on-premises IT infrastructure as-a-service solution via monthly consumption-based billing based on actual usage. uSCALE supports business resilience, increases financial and technical flexibility, and you gain freedom from up-front investments. It helps to improve time-to market by leveraging pre-provisioned buffer capacity that is deployed in your data centre ahead of business needs.
