There is a movement happening…
While others invest heavily in advertising targeted at the competition, IBM is having a much different conversation -- with our clients about their businesses. The skills, technologies and solutions IBM offers put us in a unique position to help our clients not only to reduce operational cost and improve service, but also to prepare for the future. We offer new ways to exploit, deploy and manage a whole new class of applications and capabilities.
These capabilities could not be more timely. Even in today's difficult environment, businesses are willing to invest in IT solutions if they create competitive advantage. And that's exactly what "smarter" solutions do.
Our clients are listening. Sun and HP customers, and many others, are turning to IBM. Here are the facts:
- The IBM Migration Factory has unparalleled experience migrating critical workloads. In the past three years, IBM has helped 1,800 companies migrate their workloads to IBM.
- Year-to-date, IBM has achieved over 400 Sun and 200 HP wins.
- IBM is adding an average of 10 Sun customers every week.
- Approximately half of the the 400 Sun customers who chose IBM year to date, moved to IBM Power Systems.
- According to IDC, IBM continues to gain share and widened its lead in the UNIX server market. (IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker, September 2, 2009).
- During IBM’s third quarter 09 earnings conference call, IBM CFO Mark Loughridge told analysts “In hardware, we gained 5 points of share in System p, and 2 points of share in System x. That’s lot of share – and we’re taking it from both Sun and HP.”
We continue to be a leader and supporter of open source. IBM was a catalyst in the formation of the Eclipse Foundation and donated $40M of source code during its inception. We have contributed to more than 120 open source projects, including more than $1B in Linux development. Our investments continue as shown in our recent opening of a Linux and Open Standards innovation center in Kazakhstan (press release: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/28491.wss).
IBM is at its best when computing can play a transformative role in how the world works. That opportunity is here again. We are working with clients to deliver a sustainable, and transformative, dynamic infrastructure. With the IBM Systems Migration Assurance program, we can help you get started.
Together, let's build a smarter planet.
