Deploy base capacity now. Pay for buffer as you use it.
Today’s dynamic business environment drives the need for immediate access to available capacity, whenever it is required. Flex on Demand from Dell Financial Services (DFS) allows you to pay only for the technology you need – while providing access to ready buffer capacity – with payments that adjust up or down to match usage.**
-
-
-
How it works:
- Deploy with confidence
We work with you to establish the “Committed Capacity” you currently need and the “Buffer Capacity” you will require in the future. All technology is installed and available to you on day one.
- Pay flexibly
Each payment includes the fixed cost of your committed capacity plus the variable cost of buffer capacity, which is measured on a regular basis using automated tools installed with your equipment.
- Adapt on demand
If usage consistently consumes most of the installed capacity, simply increase your capacity and all related payments will adjust commensurately.
- Simplified pricing
Ask about simplified pricing tables of our most popular solutions allowing you to budget and predict payments even when usage is variable. Custom pricing is also available.
- Deploy with confidence
-
-
-
- Total deployed capacity is made up of Committed and Buffer Capacity.
- Payments change over time as buffer capacity is used.
- Drive lower costs with higher levels of Committed Capacity and longer usage periods.
-
- Access to Buffer Capacity is immediate and does not require a hardware deployment.
- As workloads increase, Committed Capacity can be adjusted up while keeping a lower usage rate.
