Lenovo TruScale bundles data centre hardware into a cloud-like model

Lenovo has launched TruScale Infrastructure Services, a subscription service for businesses to use and pay for data centre infrastructure and associated hardware without paying upfront.It's particularly well-suited to businesses that don't have the capital to keep paying out for infrastructure as their needs scale up or don't have the IT resources to procure and manage systems.TruScale Infrastructure Services covers the entire hardware installation, deployment, management, maintenance and removal processes, as well as the equipment infrastructure they need to run everything.Businesses essentially loan the resources they need to power their workloads and services via a consumption-based model, so there aren't any nasty surprises, even if the company needs to rapidly scale.
