01 · What it is

TruScale, made clear.

TruScale brings the consumption model onto the Lenovo iron: the infrastructure installed at your site (with a growth buffer already in the room), measured by metering and billed on the real usage — you scale inside the buffer without orders, the refresh is in the fee, and the data never leaves the perimeter. The CFO gets the OpEx, IT gets the iron.

Metered
the consumption metered and billed: you pay what you use
Buffer
the growth already installed: the expansion without procurement
In casa
the hardware in your perimeter: the cloud model, the physics yours

The infrastructure as a utility

The contract on the real consumption

Minimums and units of measure negotiated on YOUR profiles: pay-per-use pays if it starts right.

The verified meter

The metering reconciled with our telemetry: the bill checked like the SLA.

A watched buffer

The reserve monitored: the top-up requested before the wall, not during.

End of life included

Pickups and refreshes in the model: the iron's cycle without paperwork.

Pay-per-use on the iron: how the contract works

TruScale is Lenovo's as-a-service: the hardware (servers, storage, edge, devices too) stays Lenovo's and is paid on metered consumption (the metering reads the real usage), the buffer capacity is installed and dormant (the peak activates without orders), the services (deployment, support, management, asset recovery) are in the fee, the contract flexes (growth and shrinkage within the agreed limits): the CapEx becomes OpEx and the technology refresh is Lenovo's.

  • Metering reale — the usage metered, not estimated: the invoice that mirrors
  • Buffer dormiente — the capacity in the room that switches on when needed
  • Tutto incluso — deployment, support and pickup: the lifecycle in the fee
  • Flessibilità — up AND down within the limits: the contract that breathes
  • Refresh di Lenovo — obsolescence is no longer your problem
  • Device inclusi — the PCs as-a-service too: the whole fleet on a fee

As-a-service must be negotiated with numbers: baseline, buffer and flexibility clauses — the contract we calibrate.
05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

Constrained CAPEX

The project that starts without an investment.

Unpredictable growth

The capacity that follows the business.

Data in the perimeter

The cloud's OpEx, home residency.

The iron on a bill works if the contract is right: we negotiate it — and we read the meter.
