IBM System x Strategie

IBM System x Strategy



● x86 is, with about 80% share, the strongest technology in the server market

● x86 is the Server segment with the strongest growth

→ System x is a strategic platform for IBM

→ IBM will invest over the next three years, over 1 billion $ in the x86 platform for new architectures and solutions

Focus areas for investment:

AnalyticsCloud

Ready to use solutions to increase transparency, reduce risk and accelerate rolling out

Solutions are based on reference architectures and integrated IBM offerings

Technical Computing

*The best product to offer in any situation will vary depending on many factors, including the installed storage and competition (see Storage Sales Guidance). Note that one advantage of these systems is their ability to scale up and out so they can satisfy both larger initial requirements and also growth over time without needing to change from one to another.
