Providing capacity on demand for peak usage and short term projects
Canvas Systems’ Rental Program allows you to save money and better manage seasonal demand by increasing capacity on a short-term basis. Rather than invest in hardware that will be underutilized for most of the year, you can rent equipment to handle the peak and then return it when operations return to normal.

Rentals in the real world
Canvas Rentals keep operations running smoothly
A year ago, a large retailer lost a half day’s worth of sales when a server crashed over the July 4th holiday – the biggest weekend of the year for this company. Anxious to avoid the same scenario, the retailer consulted Canvas Systems on purchase or lease options to increase capacity. After evaluating the company’s requirements, Canvas recommended a third alternative: a short-term rental. The company’s non-peak sales didn’t justify the capital investment, so instead Canvas increased the CPUs on every machine to handle the rush. This week-long rental kept operations running smoothly at a fraction of the cost of buying a new server.
Canvas Rentals for capacity on demand
Why choose Canvas Rentals for short-term projects or to increase capacity? Consider what we offer:
Vast Inventory
With over $100 million in inventory from across all of the large manufacturers, Canvas Systems can quickly and easily replicate any client’s data center – no matter how many different manufacturers are in the mix. We can even source older, end-of-life equipment that’s much harder to find.
Flexible terms
Sometimes it’s not easy to predict how long you will need a piece of equipment. That’s why Canvas Systems features flexible rental terms between one day and one year. If two weeks turns into two months it’s not a problem. We simply change the terms of the agreement.
Engineering Expertise
Because our engineers are experts on the products they support, we can help you determine the best options for your data center. Often, we can suggest alternative configurations that allow you to rent fewer pieces, saving you money.
Buyout option
If you decide to buy out your rental equipment, Canvas Systems makes it easy and cost-effective to that by applying 50% of what you've already paid as a discount.
