Subscription IT is not a financing arrangement for hardware. It is a fully managed network service that combines design, deployment, monitoring, support, change management, and lifecycle replacement into one monthly fee. You pay for the outcome — a working, current, supported network — not for boxes on a shelf.
Business Outcomes
Subscription IT delivers outcomes that matter to your business — not just equipment on a payment plan.
Eliminate multi-million-peso hardware purchases. Instead of tying up capital in depreciating equipment, pay one predictable monthly fee that covers everything — hardware, licenses, design, deployment, and support.
Your monthly fee never changes, even when we refresh your hardware or add new capabilities. No surprise renewal quotes, no budget shocks when a vendor ends support. You know your network cost for the next 5 years on day one.
We design, procure, configure, and deploy your full network in 2–3 weeks — not the 3–6 months typical of traditional procurement cycles. Your sites go live faster, generating revenue sooner.
One throat to choke. If a router fails, a switch misbehaves, or a firewall rule needs changing, you call one number — ours. No finger-pointing between hardware vendor, integrator, and MSP. We own the outcome.
24/7 NOC monitoring with proactive alerting means we often fix problems before you notice them. 99.95% SLA with automatic service credits. Hardware replacement is included — no extra charge, no procurement delay.
Hardware refreshes are included in your subscription. When new standards ship — 400G, Wi-Fi 7, next-gen firewalls — we upgrade your equipment at no additional cost. You never face a forced forklift upgrade.
The Full Service
Equipment leasing covers one of these. Subscription IT covers all six — that is the difference.
Our engineers architect your network — topology, capacity, security policies, and redundancy — tailored to your sites and traffic patterns.
We rack, stack, cable, configure, and test every device. Zero-touch provisioning means new sites come online in days, not weeks of on-site engineering.
Our Manila-based NOC monitors every device, interface, and session around the clock. Streaming telemetry gives us sub-second visibility into your network health.
One phone number for every issue — hardware failure, configuration change, capacity upgrade, or security incident. Tier 1–3 escalation handled internally.
Need a new VLAN, a firewall rule, or an additional site? Submit a change request and our engineers implement it — tested and documented — without sending your team to training.
When hardware reaches end-of-life or new standards become available, we replace it at no cost. You always have current, vendor-supported equipment.
The Key Difference
Equipment leasing finances hardware. Subscription IT delivers a managed, monitored, and maintained network — with the hardware included.
| Capability | Equipment Leasing | 1IX Subscription IT |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Financing | Finances equipment purchase — you still own depreciating assets | No hardware ownership. We own and maintain the equipment. |
| Network Design | Not included. You hire a consultant or design it yourself. | Included. Our engineers design your full network topology. |
| Deployment & Configuration | Not included. You hire an integrator or deploy it yourself. | Included. We rack, stack, configure, and test everything. |
| 24/7 Monitoring | Not included. You build or buy a separate NOC solution. | Included. 24/7 NOC with streaming telemetry and alerting. |
| Support & Troubleshooting | Vendor TAC only. You diagnose and escalate yourself. | Single-point support — we handle all tiers of escalation. |
| Change Management | You make changes yourself or hire professional services. | Included. Submit a request and our engineers implement it. |
| Hardware Refresh | You buy new equipment at end-of-lease or end-of-support. | Included at no cost. We upgrade you as new standards ship. |
| SLA / Uptime Guarantee | None. Equipment uptime is your responsibility. | 99.95% SLA with automatic service credits. |
| End-of-Term | Return equipment or pay residual buyout. Start over. | Continue as-is. Equipment stays, service continues, refreshes keep coming. |
Platform Detail
We deploy enterprise-grade infrastructure from leading vendors. The specific equipment matters less than the fact that we design, deploy, manage, and maintain it for you.
Carrier-grade routers with 10G–400G interfaces, full BGP, CGNAT, and FlowSpec DDoS mitigation.
Spine-leaf fabrics and access switches with EVPN-VXLAN, PoE++, and multi-gigabit ports.
Next-generation firewalls with IPS, application-aware filtering, and unified threat management.
IP Transport circuits (L2/L3, MPLS, DWDM) and Juniper Mist Wi-Fi 6/6E access points.
