Handle Peak Workloads

AWS and Azure provide advanced features like Auto-Scaling that allow new infrastructure to be brought online to handle peak workloads. Using hourly billing for IBM Software you are able to take advantage of the power of the under lying cloud platform without the need to procure huge amounts of perpetual licensing to handle the infrequent, but potentially high high watermark usage.

Remove Forecasting Headaches

Forecasting what infrastructure and licensing requirements are going to be in three years is not only expensive, time consuming and error prone – but also results in shelfware that is never used. Crane’s simple hourly billing removes any requirement to forecast – simply pay for what you use.
