Infrastructure On Command gives you
Responsiveness on Command
Infrastructure On Command lets you provision and remove services ‘on the fly’ via an easy-to-use, online portal. Your service will be automatically provisioned in as little as 20 minutes – so you can stop waiting for IT and get back to business. Don’t need the extra capacity anymore? Simply remove it. With Infrastructure On Command, you have the resource you need, when you need it
Cost efficiency on Command
Infrastructure On Command’s variable consumption-based pricing model means you pay only for the service you use. After an initial fixed access fee, your price will be based on your unique usage profile. You’ll see immediate benefits on your bottom line, plus we’ll review your usage over time to predict future usage costs, helping you to better manage your budget.
Flexibility on Command
Free yourself from rigid and costly fixed infrastructure contracts and be ready to go where your business takes you. Infrastructure On Command’s elasticity and ‘click-to-buy’ functionality lets you flex your IT infrastructure platform quickly and easily via the online portal – regardless of where you are in your contract. So you can ensure your IT is always aligned with your business.
Reliability on Command

We will proactively monitor the performance of your IT infrastructure platform, using automated toolsets to manage requests and optimise availability. Bespoke reporting provides invaluable insight.
Security on Command
We combine Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) with STARS total data encryption to safeguard your valuable data and ensure continued regulatory compliance. Underpinning this is Steria’s 40-year pedigree in providing secure IT services to high-profile clients. Rest assured that ensuring your IT security and integrity is as important to our reputation as it is to yours.
Sustainability on Command
Infrastructure On Command’s dynamic virtualised IT platform gives you the manageability, energy efficiency and space savings of a centralised infrastructure. It radically reduces the number of hardware devices and the associated power and cooling, and lets you dynamically align energy consumption with workload requirements at the push of a button for a ‘greener’ operation.
