PTS Smart Open Lease for your Next Data Center or Enterprise Project

PTS Offers a Turnkey Leasing Solution

There are many compelling reasons to lease equipment. Implementing a leasing strategy provides benefits that both CIOs and CFOs can agree upon. PTS will help craft a turnkey leasing solution for your business, including Planning, Design, Sourcing, Construction, Commissioning, and IT Implementation. We will help establish scope and budget from an IT and Facility standpoint.

PTS' Smart Open Lease plan offers a single flexible financial vehicle that can include Equipment and Services across IT, Facility, and Cabling. We offer delayed repayment options coordinated with design and construction. PTS’s Smart Open Lease allows businesses to get the exact data center they want, with NO upfront costs. PTS will allow you up to six (6) months to accumulate bills and apply them toward your previously approved “open” lease, so you won't have to pay upfront for any capital expenditures for planning, design, construction management, or commissioning. You won't even have to lay out cash for any new IT infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, storage, etc), or new facility infrastructure (generators, UPSs, air conditioners, cabinets, power strips, etc). Clients don't even have to use cash for the labor (IT implementation, electrical construction, mechanical construction, data cabling, etc).

Benefits of Leasing

• Reduce total cost of ownership
• Manage cash flow and budgets
• Keep debt off your balance sheet and improve your performance ratios
• Conserve working capital and keep lines of credit intact
• Eliminate book write-downs at the end of the equipment’s useful life
• Lease payments may be 100% deductible as an operating expense (please review this with your accountant)
• Keep up-to-date equipment in place with a built-in refresh strategy
• Retrieve and download information regarding your leased assets online
• Gain flexibility to upgrade technology to meet your changing needs
• Simplify asset disposal – just return the equipment to your lessor

PTS and SimpliVity offer Free eBook: Hyperconvergence Infrastructure for Dummies

From PTS and partner SimpliVity, download a free copy of Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Dummies (eBook in PDF format) by Scott D. Lowe

• Use hyperconverged infrastructure to simplify IT & reduce total cost of ownership (TCO)
• Achieve economics & agility of large scale web companies in your data center
• Solve capacity, performance, data protection, mobility & management challenges

Hyperconvergence is the ultimate in an overall trend of convergence that has hit the market in recent years. Convergence is intended to bring simplicity to increasingly complex data centers. At the highest level, hyperconvergence is a way to enable cloud-like economics and scale without compromising the performance, reliability, and availability you expect in your own data center.

PTS' Peter Sacco featured in CRN's 2015 Top 20 Data Center Designers and Builders

Regardless of the size of the data center, the right mix of IT, power and cooling equipment, and how that equipment is integrated into the facilities, is key to maximizing efficiency and providing the flexibility to expand as needed. Successful integration of equipment into data centers depends on finding the right companies with site preparation, design, construction and management expertise. Those organizations also need to be able to quickly turn the new facilities over to customers and help manage the transition. Such designers and builders are often the unsung heroes of the data center. But not in CRN, as noted in the CRN 2015 Top Data Center Designers and Builders list.

Aquatherm: High Performance, Long-Lasting, and Environmentally Friendly Pipes and Fittings

Ideally hydronic pipe should not be affected by the fluid it is carrying, and the fluid should not be affected by the pipe. Sadly, many HVAC system use a compromised material called carbon steel for hydronic piping. Water oxidizes steel, which causes pitting, scale build-up, and eventually leads to failure of the pipe. These effects are mitigated through the use of closed systems where possible, chemical treatment, PH-treatment, etc. Still, metal pipes produce rust which gums up valves, clogs strainers, and accumulates in low velocity areas. 

 

Wonder if you did not have to compromise? Wonder if an ideal piping material was available… an economically feasible material that required no maintenance? Wonder no longer. Consider Aquatherm.

Aquatherm Features and Benefits:

• Does not rust
• Provides a lower installed cost compared to other welded or soldered system
• Has the lowest friction loss of any pipe on the market
• Does not require chemical treatment
• Does not require an open flame, glues, or chemicals to fuse it together; It uses heat fusion to bond
• Limit liability of theft on job sites (it has no scrap value, unlike copper which is often stolen from job sites)
• Requires less external insulation (due to R-value~1)
• Resist condensation if left exposed
• Mitigates sound transmission and physical vibrations
• Can be directly buried underground
• Will not burst if water freezes within it (above –20F)
• Forms a monolithic piping system when assembled (no gaskets, solder, weld slag, glue, etc.)
• Approved for HVAC, domestic water, sprinkler systems, irrigation, chemical drains, and food grade applications
• Available in pipe sizes ranging from 3/8” up to 24” diameter
• Proven 40+ year track record of installation around the world
