schestowitz[TR2]"I was in Power sales 4 years. There is NO WAY THEY SPENT BILLIONS on Power11. That is WAY over stated. The response to P11 will be exactly as it was for P7/8/9/10. But this time IBM is ALL IN on PowerVS and really no longer wants or cares about on prem P10/P11 sales. If IBM does not move the needle with PowerVS sales AND SAP RISE on Power-cloud, P12 if it even comes out will be the last. Arvind and Robbie Thomas etc think Power isAug 25 03:16

schestowitz[TR2]@fj IBM is past the point of "waiting for a customer response" on anything. They knew what the story was with POWER many, many years ago...who the potential customers are (or were), how much they could expect in refreshes, new sales, etc. Look on their website...what do they have to sell except storage and a few rack servers?Aug 25 03:16
schestowitz[TR2]The bottom line: IBM will either "partner out" POWER or open it up like OpenSPARC. Sure, they'll do custom bids for select enterprise customers, but for most customers they'll either sell them Z or send them to business partners. ISVs like SAP, Oracle etc. will do something similar in response.Aug 25 03:16

schestowitz[TR2]Why would IBM partner off Power when it has just launched Power11 after investing billions. Even if they want to, they would atleast wait couple of years to see the customers response to Power11Aug 25 03:16
