Ease the cost of migration – that’s why IBM introduces the IBM z Rewards program. It helps to reduce the cost of services to migrate from HP, SUN and other competitive servers to IBM System z10.
The program will allow clients who are purchasing qualifying new System z10 capacity to earn extra value from IBM when moving workloads from competitive servers to System z. The amount of rewards you can earn is based on the number of competitive cores that the workloads run on before they are moved to System z.
Consolidate your workload on a single IBM System z mainframe.
- Replace UNIX and x86 processors
- Reduce UNIX and x86 OTC software support costs
- Consolidate x86 software licenses
- Leverage the ability of Linux on System z10 to consolidate and run many distributed workloads
