IBM Maintains Leadership in Blade and UNIX Servers  
26 Feb 2007 , Armonk, NY : IDC reported today that IBM (NYSE: IBM) continues to hold the number one position in worldwide server revenue share with 32.8 percent revenue share for 2006 [1].

IBM’s leadership position in global server revenue in 2006 was augmented by noteworthy revenue growth in its System z™ mainframe business [2].

In 2006, IBM introduced the System z Business Class mainframe, teamed with industry leaders such as Oracle and SAP to drive innovation on the platform, and extended its customer base and drove new workloads onto the platform through specialty processors for Linux® and Java™ workloads.

IBM continue to offer a competitive, scalable and adaptable blade infrastructure solution, I know their x86 and the power range of blades have been attractive alternatives on the blade market, good to see them doing well. The more choice the customers have, the more chance that we will be able to choose and find a solution comprised of blade technologies. Regardless, as long as IT delivers, what it runs of is of little significance in the grand scheme of things.
