IBM has the know-how, expertise and services to help database centers migrate off one platform to another.

And IBM can make that move very easy, and definitely worthwhile.

Did you know:

• One company saved $500,000 in systems costs by moving from 20 of a competitor's servers to 2 IBM System p5 570 servers?


• That you will use 95% less floor space if you trade out 180 non virtualized non-IBM servers for one virtualized IBM BladeCenter JS22?


• You can save 93% in energy costs by consolidating 50 16-core competitive servers with 1 rack of IBM Power 550 Express systems.

IBM has migrated 5,000 customers worldwide in the last four years from competitive platforms, and has created a cost-effective roadmap for enterprises looking to move to IBM.

It's time to at least determine if migrating will save you money.

Check out the IBM Systems Migration Assurance program that offers tools for analyzing business risks and financial benefits.

IBM's even offering a nice incentive to make the move. If you decide to migrate you'll earn up to 8,000 Power and zRewards points per core which you can use for selected services and software from IBM and our partners.

You may easily be able to save over $400K on server acquisition costs and up to 91 percent onenergy use by consolidating on the Power 550 Express instead of a competitor's system while using up to 90 percent fewer cores.
