Of course it is. Commonly referred to as SaaS -- Steak As A

system burn-in, etc. The more modern vendors can even provide
real-time GPS tracking and fault monitoring of your hardware (though
automated remediation is lacking as it's unable to handle common
problem like "hardware tangled in barbed geofence").
The lead time kinda sucks though, and it's often worth the premium to
be able to immediately get what you want from a local vendor.
