CapEx freeze left a Penang test lab on failing servers

Directors blocked a RM 340,000 hardware buy while test platforms were already unreliable.

What it cost
RM 340,000

What happened

A full hardware refresh was quoted at RM 340,000. The board froze CapEx. Old servers kept running tests.

What it cost

About RM 50,000 per day if the test platform died, plus RM 340,000 cash locked in a purchase.

What we did

We used a lease-to-use production host model so capacity could be replaced without a one-off hardware invoice.

After that

Testing is not waiting on a capital budget cycle.

The company name is withheld.
