ARMONK, N.Y. -- IBM Global Financing (IGF) (NYSE:IBM - News) is today announcing a new set of asset recovery offerings as part of "The Project Big Green" campaign to help clients with less energy efficient data centers step up to greener technologies.

"IBM is making it easier for data center owners to go green with new, more energy efficient technology," said John Callies, general manager of IBM Global Financing. "Before a client can upgrade the business has to develop a plan to get rid of the older technology. IBM is providing the tools to help companies make that first step towards solving the energy crisis in their data centers."
The IGF "Go Green in my Data Center" Program includes:
-- Free Data Center Server disposal for US customers upgrading to new IBM Energy Efficient servers through end of the second quarter. Disposal is compliant with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
-- Disk wiping services utilizing DOD overwrite standards to help protect data on all Intel-based servers.-- A Green Data Center Asset Recovery Hotline, 1-888 SHOP IBM Option 1, ext.7615, or our website http://www.ibm.com/financing/us/recovery where data center owners can get guidance on how to dispose of their data center equipment and potentially get value to fund their upgrade.
-- The Hotline can also put data center owners in touch with an IBM Project Financing for Data Centers qualified financing specialist aligned by industry, who can tailor a financing deal to free up working capital to fund a greener, more energy-efficient data center. Center owners simply have to say, "I want to Go Green in my Data Center."
