iSeries Server Sales Slip Again in 2001, Says SSB
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Analysts at Salomon Smith Barney reckon that three of IBM's four major server lines
saw contracted sales in last year. Sales of zSeries mainframes were up for the first time in more than a
decade, thanks to IBM having a monopoly in mainframe hardware for the first time in three decades.
iSeries sales continued on a revenue decline that has afflicted this business since the end of the Y2K
spending binge, which ran from 1998 through the first half of 1999.

IBM Creates Linux-Only iSeries, zSeries Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
At the LinuxWorld trade show in New York this week, IBM is offering a sneak preview of two new Linux-only servers in its eServer product
line. The interesting bit about the IBM preview is that the new Linux servers are based on the hardware
zSeries mainframe and iSeries midrange platforms, which are probably the last remaining so-called
proprietary servers in the world--aside from the server versions of Microsoft's Windows operating systems, of course.

Is IBM Going To Offer A WebSphere Entry Edition?
by Joe Hertvik
The latest scuttlebutt is that IBM will soon launch a low-cost Entry Edition of its WebSphere Application
Server middleware to compensate for the WebSphere customers and revenue the company may lose when it
pulls the plug at the end of this year on the WebSphere Standard Edition that is included for free in OS/400.
The details are vague right now, but here's what I think could be going on.

of Reconstruction
by Alex Woodie
Jim McGowan, president and chief executive of midrange application software vendor Infinium,
said last week that the first stage of returning the company to financial stability is complete and it is now
