The IBM Power™ Systems Exchange helps minimize the financial impact of migrating to Power Systems technology by providing credit for your current system-even if you're only midway through a lease.
The IBM Power Systems Exchange
Use this cost-effective option to quickly, easily and affordably get IBM's powerful new technology
- Available to clients who currently own select IBM System i or System p servers or lease them from IBM Global Financing
- Offers market value credit for your current server to migrate to select Power Systems servers
- Enables you to upgrade your system so you can use the growing array of new peripherals that require the faster Power Systems processor
- Full one year warranty on equipment
- Clients can use both servers for 60 days for side-by-side installation and testing
IBM Global Financing Power Exchange
For owned systems, the credit you receive will be based on the market value established by IBM Global Financing or the type of IBM Global Financing lease for the currently leased servers.
The Power Systems server provided by the IBM Power Systems Exchange offering (including a combination of used and new components) comes with the same warranty as an equivalently configured new Power Systems server. The IBM Power Systems Exchange provides you up to 60 days from the time your new system is installed to perform side-by-side migration before your current system needs to be returned to IBM Global Financing.
How this helps clients
- Non-disruptive migration to new processor technology
- Reduced termination charges if leased
- Cash (if owned) for returned server
- One year warranty available
