Quantum-as-a-Service/Quantum GO
All the benefits of Quantum products and solutions via a fully managed, “pay-as-you-go” subscription service.
Quantum GO provides Cloud-like Subscription Pricing with the Benefits of On-Premises Storage
Organizations with large and growing storage needs face the challenge of keeping up with those demands, with often limited budgets. Public cloud storage can generate high and unpredictable costs, and it’s difficult to estimate and purchase years of storage requirements in advance.
Quantum GO provides customers with the best of both worlds—a private cloud experience with a low initial storage entry point and low fixed monthly payment options to get a true ‘storage-as-a service’ experience. And as storage requirements grow, Quantum GO customers get the advantage of a simple ‘pay-as-you-go’ model.
Quantum GO is available in many countries across the world, with agreement terms from 3 to 5 years with either monthly, quarterly, or annual payments, and even options for initial payments to be deferred to help customers lock in the OPEX model they need with single-vendor confidence.
Quantum GO will be especially beneficial for customers with large storage needs where ActiveScale® and ActiveScale Cold Storage is an ideal fit. However, Quantum GO is available for most Quantum deployments and provides customers a lower initial commitment, which is fully sized to your multi-year need, yet with a “pay-as-you-go” consumption OPEX model. Quantum Support will monitor the solution and bill the capacity usage over the base commitment.
