Get flexibility after deployment with Spend Portability

In response to the rapidly changing demands of data centers and infrastructure, organizations must make strategic choices that align with present needs while maintaining agility and future adaptability.

What is Spend Portability?

HorizonIQ Spend Portability gives you the option to switch infrastructure solutions—dollar for dollar—part-way through your contract.

This will help you avoid environment lock-in and achieve current IT infrastructure goals, while providing the flexibility to adapt for whatever comes next.

What services are eligible?

Bare Metal and Private Cloud services with minimum three-year contracts are eligible for the Spend Portability program.

When would I use it?

Spend Portability can be used for a variety of business needs including:

  • Redeploy between HorizonIQ’s Bare Metal and Private Cloud services.
  • Switch part or all of your current spend to new geographic regions.
  • Redeploy applications on newer hardware.

How do we get started?

Spend Portability is available for customers with contracts of at least three years. It is automatically added to your contract at the time of sale.

This program only applies to Bare Metal and Private Cloud services. You may exchange spend starting 12 months after your contract start date or later, with a 90-day notice. Install fees may apply.

Use Cases

Achieve true infrastructure flexibility

Geographic Flexibility

A challenge of moving to the edge

One year after deploying HorizonIQ Bare Metal servers on the U.S. West Coast, a growing SaaS customer sees an increased demand for service in the EMEA region.

Flexibly solved

To get closer to their growing user base, the customer shifts part of their deployment to a custom-engineered solution in HorizonIQ’s UK cloud location. This use case also applies to colocation customers seeking to move data centers.

On-Prem to Colo to Cloud

A challenge of IT transformation

To boost connectivity and performance, and IT infrastrucutre team seeks to migrate their company’s on-premise data center infrastructure to a Tier 3 colocation facility; however, pressure from senior management to explore cloud-first strategies within the next five years complicates their plans.

Flexibly solved

With HorizonIQ spend portability, the team migrates to a new high-density colocation solution knowing that, one year later, they can choose to transition part of their spend to a custom-build HorizonIQ Private Cloud should the need arise

Application Best Fit

A challenge of agility

A HorizonIQ Bare Metal customer needs to decommission legacy workloads and deploy newly architected applications that are better suited to a virtualized environment.

Flexibly solved

Rather than spin up new on-demand services with a hyperscale public cloud provider, the customer uses HorizonIQ Spend Portability to migrate to a HorizonIQ Private Cloud, which provides a scalable, single-tenant environment tailored to the resource needs of the new applications.
