We offer this with three options – .
We own the storage infrastructure being delivered to you with service level-oriented contract. We deploys an initial buffer that jumpstarts the storage management operation and grow the capacity based on your workloads needed storage capacity requirement and as the buffer is used consumed.
Capacity use and consumption above the base subscription is assessed separately
On-premises IBM® Block Storage as a Service (STaaS) is a data storage resource that is offered to a customer through a subscription. STaaS helps you save you money by providing operating expenditure (OpEx) agility. You pay for the storage that you need, when you need it.
With a base subscription under monthly assessment, this is more like a new procurement with all future capacity pre-deployed, but the lease covers a sub-set of the total while you pay for use above base subscription.
You can purchase at end of lease.
A model that offers the base subscription for a one-time purchased.
At the end of the term, if your workload requirements warrants the use of the total capacity deployed and purchased, there is no more “pay for use”
