Offer your clients increased performance and functionality with minimal downtime. Now clients can get substantial market value credit for their qualifying System p5 server when they migrate to select remanufactured POWER6 servers with upgraded processors.
Description/Overview
About the IBM System p5 to POWER6 Exchange:
- Available to clients who currently own or lease an IBM System p model 570
- Offers credit for the client's current server, which can be applied to select
remanufactured POWER6 servers when they become available
- Applies to system purchase or lease through IBM Global Financing
- Sold through the brand
If you have a client who currently owns or leases an IBM System p model 570, chances are they love the idea of upgrading to a new POWER6 platform.
If so, the IBM System p5 to POWER6 Exchange is a terrific way to migrate to an IBM System p server with an upgraded processor.
It minimizes the financial impact of migrating to new POWER6 technology by letting the client apply their current system's fair market value to a remanufactured System p server with an upgraded processor and a full warranty. The IBM System p5 to POWER6 Exchange also simplifies the process by giving the client up to 60 days to perform side-by-side installation and testing.
There are big benefits for you too! First, you have a new opportunity to engage clients who didn't think they could afford the migration. Second, you can offer the customer more flexibility in POWER6 processor technology. Third, you limit your competitive exposure and need for discounting.
Sold Through the Brand
IBM Business Partners can now sell a complete "Exchange" POWER6 server vs an MES upgrade. The "Exchange" POWER6 server is sold through the brand and includes the brand warranty.

Process specifications:
- If your client currently leases an IBM System p model 570, IBM Global Financing will reduce the total amount to be financed by the server's current fair market value, and assume possession of the system.
- If your client currently owns an IBM System p model 570, IBM Global Financing will assume ownership of the server at fair market value, and apply that value toward the purchase or lease of the upgraded POWER6 server.
- The new system will come with the standard 12-month warranty and can be installed alongside the existing server at your client's facility for up to 60 days for changeover and testing. At the end of the changeover, the retired system is returned to IBM Global Financing.
