IBM Modifies Power Server Trade-in Program

IBM has modified the Power 520, 550, and 560 Express server trade-in program to add the iSeries Model 250 to the list of machines that may be replaced. The amount of the trade-in credit for each replaced machine represents a combination of the fair market value (FMV) of the replaced machine and an additional incentive. The number of replaced machines that customers can trade in per eligible new replacement machine is limited by the maximum trade-in credit amount of the replacement machine. Once a customer reaches the maximum trade-in credit amount, IBM won't accept additional machines for trade-in.
