Zyxel Networks, renowned for its secure and AI-optimised cloud networking solutions, has unveiled a new Pay as You Go (PAYG) online payment method on its Circle subscription management platform.

Specifically designed for managed service providers (MSPs) and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) utilising the Nebula cloud management platform, this innovative billing model aims to offer enhanced flexibility and scalability.

The Circle platform acts as a centralised tool focused on partners, streamlining the processes of license purchasing, renewal, and management. For complex MSP environments and budget-constrained SMBs, the new PAYG model offers a monthly billing system based on actual organisational consumption.

Regardless of their scale, partners only pay for what they utilise with no hidden costs, fees, or obligatory commitments, simplifying financial management. Monthly usage reports ensure complete cost transparency.

Activating the PAYG feature is hassle-free and direct through the Circle interface, eliminating the need for prolonged communications with support teams.

This allows partners to manage multiple organisations seamlessly, offering the choice to selectively apply PAYG or deactivate as needed. Network devices are easily transferable, enhancing overall operational control.

The flexibility of this billing option allows partners, especially smaller ones, to approach new projects without the burden of initial capital investment. The shift from annual to flexible renewals saves valuable time, ensuring more focus on core business operations.

The PAYG model supports the shift from CapEx to OpEx, thereby fostering improved cash flow and facilitating scalable network-as-a-service offerings.

As Inchen Lin of Zyxel Networks highlights, Circle now boasts "the most comprehensive payment options in the industry," offering services that can adapt to partner preferences.

The globally available PAYG option on the Circle platform brings new opportunities to MSPs and SMBs using Nebula cloud-managed devices.
