What buyers call this service—and what Device360 actually is.
The market uses several names for managed physical-device programs. The terminology matters less than the operating model behind it.
PC as a Service
A physical PC lifecycle model that can combine hardware, deployment, support and scheduled refresh under a predictable commercial structure.
Device as a Service
Often used for managed laptops, desktops and endpoints. Device360 refers to physical devices—not virtual desktop infrastructure.
Hardware as a Service
A broader term for hardware delivered as an ongoing service rather than a one-time capital purchase.
Our version combines business-class physical computers with fully managed IT, configuration, lifecycle tracking, patching, endpoint security, infrastructure support and a planned 36-month refresh. It is designed for companies that want the PC program integrated with the way IT actually operates—not separated into another hardware contract.
The PC purchase is easy. The lifecycle is the real work.
Device360 turns an inconsistent, reactive hardware process into a planned operating model.
Large capital purchases
Twenty PCs should not suddenly become an unplanned five-figure expenditure.
Inconsistent hardware
Standard device profiles reduce one-off purchases, support complexity and employee variability.
Devices stay too long
Refreshes are planned from day one instead of delayed until performance or warranty becomes a problem.
IT owns the mess
Ordering, setup, warranties, inventory, repair coordination and retirement become an operating burden.
One managed lifecycle from procurement to refresh.
Procure
Business-class hardware selected around employee role and standardization goals.
Configure
Windows, accounts, security policies, approved applications and onboarding readiness.
Protect
Patching, endpoint protection and device management are built into the Device360 operating model.
Support
Help desk, end-user support and hardware/vendor coordination are included in the Device360 program.
Track
Asset inventory, warranty status and lifecycle visibility instead of spreadsheet archaeology.
Refresh
Scheduled replacement, transition and secure retirement coordination on a defined lifecycle.
Managed device lifecycle for businesses that want one accountable IT partner.
Knowtion combines the device program with local Managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, help desk and onsite support. Device360 is built for Cleveland and Northeast Ohio organizations that need more than a financing company dropping boxes at the door.
For growing businesses, healthcare practices, manufacturers, professional-services firms and multi-location organizations, the value is consistency: standard hardware, predictable refresh timing, clear ownership and an IT team that already understands the users and environment.
Device360 is more than hardware financing.
OEM financing can solve payment timing. Device360 is designed to solve the operating lifecycle around the employee workstation.
Predictable technology without lowering the standard.
The goal is not simply to turn a hardware purchase into a payment. It is to make employee technology more consistent, supportable and intentional.
Device count does not always equal employee count.
At Apex Dermatology, Knowtion supported approximately 300 PCs while the organization grew from about 80 to 300 users and from 8 to 13 locations. Many computers supported rotating surgery teams or shared workflows, so pricing and lifecycle decisions had to reflect how the devices were actually used—not simply count every machine as a dedicated employee workstation.
Knowtion also evaluated more than 120 PCs for Windows 11 readiness, upgrading RAM and SSDs where appropriate and replacing systems only when replacement made more sense. That is the Device360 philosophy: manage the lifecycle around the business instead of treating every endpoint as an isolated purchase.
Built for organizations where devices multiply faster than the process around them.
Device360 is especially relevant for growing teams, multi-location companies and organizations that want a repeatable workstation standard without adding procurement and lifecycle overhead.
A refresh should be a process—not an emergency.
Knowtion coordinates the replacement from planning through migration, user validation and secure retirement.
PC as a Service and Device360 questions buyers ask.
What is PC as a Service (PCaaS)?
PC as a Service is a lifecycle model for physical business computers that can combine hardware, deployment, management, support and scheduled refresh under a predictable commercial structure. Device360 is Knowtion’s version of that model.
What is Device as a Service (DaaS)?
Device as a Service is commonly used to describe managed physical endpoints such as laptops and desktops delivered with lifecycle services. The term can also be confused with virtual desktop services, so Device360 is explicit that it manages physical business devices.
Is PCaaS the same as business computer or laptop leasing?
Not exactly. Leasing primarily addresses how hardware is financed. Device360 is designed around the broader PC lifecycle, combining configuration, asset tracking, managed IT, endpoint management, security, help desk, infrastructure support and planned refresh in one program.
Can a business use Device360 instead of buying laptops and desktops upfront?
Yes, subject to the final commercial and hardware terms. The program is designed to convert a large reactive hardware purchase into a predictable lifecycle model with planned replacement timing.
Does Device360 include IT support?
Yes. Device360 is a single fully managed program that combines the PC lifecycle with Knowtion Managed IT, help desk, patching, endpoint protection, device management, infrastructure support and planned refresh.
Does Device360 include cybersecurity and endpoint management?
Yes. Patching, endpoint protection, device management and help desk are part of the standard Device360 operating model around the workstation.
Can we mix business and performance PCs?
Yes. Device360 uses two straightforward performance tiers—Business and Performance—and each tier can be modeled as either a desktop or laptop so the plan fits different roles without becoming a complicated hardware configurator.
What about shared, clinical or production computers?
Shared and rotating-team PCs can be handled in the exact plan. The public calculator stays intentionally simple, while Knowtion can adjust the commercial model when device count and user count do not map one-to-one.
How often should a business replace employee laptops and PCs?
Many organizations plan around a three- to four-year lifecycle, but the right timing depends on device role, performance requirements, warranty coverage and supportability. Device360 uses a 36-month planning model and can adjust the final plan to the environment.
What happens after 36 months?
Knowtion can coordinate the replacement device, configuration, employee transition, secure data handling and retirement, return or recycling of the old device according to the agreed program terms.
Can Knowtion migrate users to their replacement computers?
Yes. Device deployment can include preparation of the replacement device, approved application configuration, account setup and coordination of the user transition based on the selected service scope.
Is Device360 available outside Cleveland?
Yes. Knowtion is headquartered in the Cleveland area and can support organizations in Northeast Ohio as well as distributed and multi-location businesses elsewhere in the United States.
Are the calculator prices final quotes?
No. They are planning estimates based on typical device costs and a 36-month lifecycle model. Final terms depend on selected hardware, financing, warranty, taxes, deployment and service scope.
PCs are easy to buy. Managing the lifecycle is the real work.
