Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2013 3:31 am
zEnterprise had yet another fantastic quarter: revenues up 10% (11% at constant currency) and capacity shipments up 23%. The "presentation" says: "System z mainframe revenue up 10 percent; up 11 percent adjusting for currency;". That's yet another big server market share gain for zEnterprise.
Non-mainframe UNIX servers had another dreadful quarter -- HP and Oracle/Sun continue their UNIX server slide into oblivion — and IBM gained market share in that segment despite a 24% (constant currency) slide in its Power server business.
IBM's CFO Mark Loughridge mentioned on the earnings call for analysts that he expects another double digit revenue growth quarter for zEnterprise in the third quarter. Yo! Yo!!
