Designed with maximum flexibility to support a wide range of customer needs, the Pentaho On-Demand BI Subscription provides customers with dedicated hardware and software resources that enable them to choose and combine the infrastructure management and professional services they need while maintaining the option to expand or contract services as business needs change.

Because Pentaho’s On-Demand BI Subscriptions are offered on a time period, subscription basis, customers pay for exactly what they need with no additional costs based on resource usage. The solutions are not a time share offering and provide complete portability since the solution is owned by the customer. Each solution is completely isolated from other customer’s data, users and workload and utilizes dedicated bandwidth.

The on-demand environment is completely flexible and extensible to customer needs. Additional CPUs, RAM, disk space and network bandwidth can all be added as needs dictate providing scalability, security and extensibility. The Pentaho software solution runs as a VMware image in a managed data center environment and can be transferred to a customer’s on-premise environment at any time with a modest transfer fee.
