Analyst Quotes
“With this announcement, IBM is saying they not only are not going to go quietly into the night, defeated by the sheer volume of x86-based server solutions, but intend to kick the collective butts of anyone that gets in their way. IBM is on a roll and folks better follow, get out of the way or prepare to face a formidable competitor that will object with a vengeance to anyone else who tries to lead in the enterprise systems space.”
