Buy Refurbished Mainframes And Save With MSQ

At Computer Merchants, we’re able to help customers get the performance they need and save money by buying refurbished Mainframe systems instead of buying new units.

Success Story 

One customer recently needed to move a Mainframe workload from unsupported hardware to a new system, but the price of a new Mainframe server made this prohibitive. We supplied our customer with a refurbished Mainframe server at a fraction of the new system price.

The major benefit to you is the big savings you make and we guarantee the server for you backed by our experience in this area for 25 years.

Buying refurbished Mainframes is also low risk because of MSQ banding

What does this mean?

IBM has a policy called Maintenance Service Qualification, or MSQ. Under MSQ an IBM machine which is under IBM Maintenance, can be moved to a new customer almost anywhere in the world and IBM will still accept it for maintenance. IBM lets most of their operating systems travel with the used systems when sold.

Recent sales of refurbished Mainframes have resulted in customers being able to upgrade to supported versions of software without incurring the large capital expenditure of a new mainframe system.
