Hardware as a Service across your whole estate
One commercial model spanning networks, servers and storage, audio visual, and devices. We replace unpredictable capital peaks with a predictable operating cost, and we manage the full lifecycle so you refresh on a schedule rather than when something breaks.
One model, four categories, no surprises
Most schools and trusts buy hardware in unpredictable lumps, then live with an ageing estate until the next capital window. Hardware as a Service replaces that pattern. We provide the equipment, manage warranty and spares, refresh on an agreed rhythm, and handle responsible disposal at end of life.
The commercial structure is designed to be defensible under the Academy Trust Handbook, with treatment aligned to current reporting standards. Your finance team gets a predictable annual cost and a clear refresh plan.
- Networking and Wi-Fi hardware
- Servers and storage
- Audio visual, installed by Hugh Symons Audio Visual
- End user devices, laptops, tablets, and trolleys
Specialist evaluation
Finance directors and business managers care about the commercial model. IT directors care about the lifecycle discipline. HaaS speaks to both: predictable OPEX for finance, managed refresh and ITAD for IT.
What you can expect
Hardware as a Service is a contracted service; your agreement sets the specifics.
Strategic partnerships, tailored solutions
HaaS draws on our strategic partnerships across each family: HPE Aruba for networking, HPE for servers and storage, our AV partners through Hugh Symons Audio Visual, and a choice of device manufacturers selected to your need.
