The solution for software testing, proof-of-concept development and virtualization planning
Canvas Systems’ Rentals Program lets you test whether a new hardware or software solution will work in your data center before you purchase it. Using rented equipment, you can re-create your existing infrastructure, add the new hardware or software and then test to see how well it performs. It’s a cost-effective way to try before you buy.

Success Story: Rentals in the Real World
Canvas Rentals saves the deal
A Fortune 500 IT company had a major deal on the line and wanted to demonstrate that their storage solution would work in the prospective client’s environment. To do so, they needed a high-end IBM server that retailed for approximately $750,000. They called Canvas Systems and found out that they could rent the exact server they needed on a short-term basis and have it configured to mirror the client’s environment – all for a fraction of the cost of a new server. The company won the deal and opted to extend the rental period an additional three weeks so they could use it for another sales demo.
Canvas Rentals for capacity on demand
Why choose Canvas Rentals to handle software testing, proof-of-concept development and virtualization planning? 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.
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.
Flexible Terms
You don’t need to worry if your project runs long and you need to keep the equipment longer than you expected. With Canvas Systems flexible rental terms, if two weeks turns into two months, we just change the terms of the agreement. No hassles and no penalties.
Buyout option
After you create a mirrored environment and test the new hardware or software, you might decide to buy the rental equipment outright. Canvas Systems makes it easy to do this by applying 50% of what you’ve already paid in rental fees as a discount on the purchase.
