IBM used to be called big blue. Its not so much a big computer manufacturer as it used to be when I worked in data centers with mainframes.

Servers are todays mainframes, and they are having a resurgence with the cloud computing transition.

Only thing is that companies like Cisco are growing their server business because their UCS servers are from the ground up built for internet with hooks into virtual storage, routing, and blade servers. Cisco is growing its server business at 30% per year, just passing Oracles server business and not that far behind Dell.

I am not surprised, Ibm lost its mojo when it sold of its PC business to Lenovo.

Since then its more of a services company and a consulting company than a hardware play.
