| schestowitz[TR2] | " You could very well be right regarding Power, BUT the tea leaves are pointing towards a spinoff. Why do we say that? | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sales of power continue to shrink. Especially scale out AIX and OS/400 Yep Linux on intel continues to dominate. Enterprise Power installs are stable due to Powers big memory and multiple threads. The issue with Enterprise is it’s not growing, thus it’s an appliance go to market model (eg you only replace it when it breaks) | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | P12 may have a road map, but so did the Ford Edsel. Right now sales of P11 are not growing, but rather sinking, which begs to ask why would IBM invest in P12. | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The P11 announcement centered on RAS improvements vs performance improvements. This is IBM conceding the market to Intel performance | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Openshift running on top of power means nothing if your ISV partner base doesn’t adopt it. | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Finally IBM farming the existing shrinking install base via an IP strategy is the answer to monetizing an active but shrinking install base. It’s not that Power doesn’t make money, but it is Power doesn’t make enough to justify the P12 investment. IBM wants to exit manufacturing, and an IP strategy seems to be the ticket especially if IBM throws in some sweeteners (eg 10 year GF type purchase deal for the enterprise side, | Oct 03 01:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and a sharing of patents and cooperation on future IBM lab developments). | Oct 03 01:45 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "It appears IBM is content to target approx 1 billion in savings per year. That equates to 10k out of NA/Northern Europe, or 30k out of India and other low cost countries. Mix or match however you want, but for the past 3 years the CFO has executed this plan. As AI is maturing, I expect India headcount (repetitive labor) to be impacted harder, BUT that will be offset via AI development also being done in India. NA and Northern Euro | Oct 03 01:47 |
