IBM Certified Pre-Owned delivers significant savings
A transportation company needed to implement a backup and recovery environment. The 1-year project also included reducing operating costs for its production data center and improving the reliability and performance of its on-prem infrastructure.
With IBM Certified Pre-Owned, the company projected a USD 2.5 million operating cost reduction over five years.

IBM Certified Pre-Owned parts help extend maintenance
An IT Service Provider needed to maintain its current IBM storage infrastructure cloud for a specified time for business reasons, but the maintenance term had ended, and new parts were no longer available.
Solution:
- IBM Certified Pre-Owned parts for existing IBM storage systems
- IBM Maintenance Extension Service
By acquiring the certified pre-owned parts, the company was able to extend the maintenance agreement as needed. Since all parts were already IBM-inspected for quality, there was no further requirement to make the system eligible for IBM Maintenance.
