In its earnings report last week
<
http://www.ibm.com/investor/4q07/index.phtml>, IBM announced that
revenue for System i was up 2%. It’s the first time System i revenue has
been up year-over-year in two years. The chief financial officer at IBM,
Mark Loughridge, said the rise was due to the introduction of Power6
System i 570.
Although the 2% increase is compared to a 10% decrease in the fourth
quarter of 2006, it’s still a whole lot better than it going down again.
And given Loughridge’s reasons for the increase, it’s fair to think that
revenues might continue to rise in 2008 when more Power6 boxes become
available.
