Modernise Your Network with Flexible Financing and a Fully Managed Service from FourNet

Transforming your IT environment requires simple, flexible financing models to meet your organisation’s unique needs. These can help you build agility, scalability and consumer-centric experiences into your network – fast.

FourNet offer a number of finance models from Extreme that will allow you to:

  • Shape your network around your needs
  • Move to a flexible OpEx funding model
  • Protect against future inflationary pressures with fixed term pricing
  • Scale the network up and down with ease
  • Provide the flexibility to return all equipment with 60 days' notice if required

The two most compelling models are offered as follows:

Both of these options combine Extreme Networks technology and financing options to offer a usage-based consumption model, based on one simple monthly fee which incorporates all costs - hardware, licenses and support.

Extreme Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)

a unique, customer defined, fixed term usage-based consumption model based on “price per port”, that automatically scales down by up to 20% during quiet months

Extreme Network Subscription (ENS)

for customers who are looking to maintain maximum flexibility, without a term commitment, and a manageable monthly subscription rate.

What is included with NaaS?

Consumption Based Pricing

NaaS is an ‘as a Service’ utility model based upon ‘per port’ utilization for Extreme networking solutions. Customers are invoiced monthly in arrears on actual port use with the (automatic) ability to flex down by 20% during quieter periods.

No Capital Equipment Investment

NaaS allows you to move your IT from a CAPEX to OPEX model with no large network infrastructure capital budgeting required; no balance sheet entries; no assets to depreciate. Extreme retains title of equipment.

Everything In One Package

NaaS incorporates all costs (hardware, software & support). Provides consistent, foreseeable OPEX funding of networking infrastructure, bringing predictability in expenditure.

Complete Mid-Term Equipment Refresh

One like-for-like network refresh is included during the NaaS term. Ensuring that you're always on the most updated network infrastructure to maximise productivity, competitive advantage, and increased security profile.

Benefits of NaaS

Future-proof Your Network

Take advantage of today's innovative technology to meet tomorrow's business outcomes. Extreme Network as a Service from FourNet provides investment protection with no need for upfront capital. We also offer one network refresh per contractual term.

Advantages of ENS

As-A-Service Agility

Extreme Network Subscription has no origination fees, no fixed term and no penalties for early termination, allowing organisations to pay for network capacity as they consume it.

Cost & Revenue Alignment

Extreme Network Subscription enables customers to consume new services over cloud-optimised network infrastructures by aligning network infrastructure costs with revenue, providing revenue tracking and streamlining time to profitability.

Eliminate Business Risk

With Extreme Network Subscription, when business needs change, compatibility issues arise, or technology progresses, organisations can simply adjust their networks. Risk is eliminated because organisations have the ability to expand, contract or refresh their network infrastructure on demand.

Enterprise Financial Ratio Stability

Extreme Network Subscription may provide off-balance sheet accounting treatment allowing enterprises to refresh networks without impacting credit ratings and key business performance ratios, such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).

Freedom from Depreciation Cycle & Term Commitments

Organisations are free from the depreciation cycles attached to purchase or term limits tied to leasing. Extreme Network Subscription lets organisations seamlessly select the exact features, technology and footprint they need on an ongoing basis.

Increased Capital Efficiency

With Extreme Network Subscription, organisations can refresh their network infrastructure or adjust capacity easily without the need for capital expenditure. As a result, they can continue to invest in scaling their business instead of their network infrastructure.

Support Every Step of the Way

Our customers get around the clock support from network experts from FourNet and Extreme Networks. Including secure remote access, 24/7 telephone support and next-day advanced hardware replacement, to a fully managed service wrap from FourNet, organisations will be supported every step of the way.
