PC as a Service (PCaaS) & Computers as a Service

Also called CaaS - modern business computers on a predictable monthly rate, renewed every 36 months, with no painful upfront CapEx.

What is PC as a Service?

PC as a Service (PCaaS) - also known as Computers as a Service (CaaS) or computer-as-a-service - replaces large one-time PC purchases with a lifecycle program: devices, deployment support, and scheduled refresh under one predictable monthly model.

Apollo Networks’ CaaS program keeps your team on current hardware so performance, security baselines, and employee experience stay consistent - without surprise replacement projects every few years.

How Apollo CaaS / PCaaS works

1
Size the fleet
Choose laptop and desktop configurations that match roles (standard user, power user, specialty line-of-business needs).
2
Deploy with standards
Devices enter service under Apollo’s managed standards - especially powerful when paired with CSM.
3
Operate on a flat monthly rate
Budget hardware as OpEx. Avoid large upfront purchases and irregular capital spikes.
4
Refresh every 36 months
At term, devices are replaced with new models so your organization does not run aging, slow, insecure fleets.

Benefits of PC as a Service for business

  • No large upfront investments - Start with current hardware without a major CapEx event.
  • Predictable pricing - One flat monthly rate simplifies budgeting for finance and ownership.
  • Automatic refresh cycle - Every 36 months, plan on new machines instead of extending EOL risk.
  • Better performance & security posture - Modern CPUs, memory, and firmware support current OS and protection stacks.
  • Less internal project burden - Procurement, logistics, and replacement planning are part of the service model.
  • Works with managed IT - Pair with endpoint protection, patching, and help desk under Apollo CSM for a complete endpoint program.

Frequently asked questions

In practice, yes for most buyers. PCaaS, CaaS, and “computer as a service” all describe lifecycle device programs with predictable monthly pricing and scheduled refresh. Apollo markets this program as CaaS while matching common PCaaS search language.

CaaS can be discussed on its own, but most clients get the best outcome when devices are enrolled in Apollo’s managed services standards - security agents, patching, and support.

Devices are replaced with new models under the program so your fleet stays current. Details of return, data handling, and next-term options are defined in your agreement.
