Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition (1-2 CPU, 5 CAL) ROK German
IBM is announcing the new IBM Reseller Option Kit (ROK) program that qualifying IBM Distributors can participate in. The ROK program authorizes qualifying IBM Distributors to buy selected IBM OEM licenses of select Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 operating systems for installation on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers or for sale to IBM Business Partners (Resellers) for installation on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers. Distributors can also install the ROK themselves if requested by the Reseller or if they want to act as a Reseller in order to sell IBM System x and Bladecenter Servers installed with the ROK directly to customers. (If a Distributor wants to act as a Reseller they must agree and adhere to all the applicable Reseller ROK licensing terms.) This program delivers one-stop shopping and flexibility to our distributors, allowing them to buy their Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 operating systems and IBM System x and BladeCenter servers from one source.
