AW: ibm earnings report

Hi,

As far as I know are only the small legacy and power 5 machines (such as
515, 525) counted as System i. The bigger Systems, such as the 570 and the
new power 6 systems are completely counted as p Series or power systems.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: ibm earnings report


the 2q 08 earnings report says " system i servers decreased 47 percent ".
but converged "system p server products increased 29 percent". Does
converged system p include some system i sales, or are we actually down as
much as the announcement says?

Revenue from the converged System p server products increased 29 percent
compared with the 2007 period. Revenues from the System x servers decreased
5 percent, and revenues from the System i servers decreased 47 percent.
Revenues from System Storage increased 12 percent and revenues from Retail
Store Solutions were flat. Revenues from Microelectronics OEM decreased 19
percent.
