There are several benefits. Most customers will save money by purchasing the server from IBM, and the software from Cisco. Also, many customers have volume purchase agreements with IBM that can more easily be fulfilled if they purchase the hardware directly from them. Lastly, purchasing the server from IBM allows the customer to utilize existing hardware maintenance contracts and procedures.
