by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Last week, IBM added the i side of the Power Systems house to a long-running trade-in deal it was giving to shops using alternative Unix and proprietary platforms from Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Fujitsu if they acquired a System p 550. In addition, the company tweaked the deal to offer incentives for shops buying Power 520, 550, or 560 servers and also announced discounts on i5/OS V5R4 and i 6.1 user licensing fees. READ MORE >

IBM and Resellers Do the iLoyalty Blitz
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
As I report in the lead story in this issue, IBM is giving customers using old AS/400 and iSeries machinery trade-in credits on new Power Systems gear and is also cutting the cost of per-user software licensing fees on i5/OS V5R4 and i 6.1 until the end of June. These two deals are, in fact, part of something IBM and its master resellers have cooked up called the iLoyalty Blitz. READ MORE >

Server Sales Slumped As 2008 Stumbled to the Holidays
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Unfortunately for server makers, the box counters at IDC had a bit less work to do in the fourth quarter of 2008 as the server market took a big dip. The company said last week that it believes that server sales worldwide fell by 14 percent in the final quarter of the year to $13.5 billion. Shipments declined by 12 percent, which means average selling prices were on the decline as companies moved to lighter configurations and vendors cut prices to try to move product. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: That'll Teach 'Em
by Hesh Wiener
It's difficult to sell an IBM i server to a prospect who worries that the talent required to use the machine will be in short supply, and even more so to sell an AS/400 or System i shop a new Power System that requires fresh skills. Students have X64 machines and so, usually, do their schools. Power? What's that? IBM is trying to educate the educators by making access to Power technology cheaper for schools and by supporting faculty members, researchers, and students. And it has a big educational shindig coming up in September. READ MORE >

Healthcare and Utilities Lead Vertical Markets in IT Spending
by Dan Burger
In a year when IT spending is being nipped, trimmed, and sometimes lopped, it's refreshing to hear about additional funds finding their way into corporate planning. For a peek at that silver lining, we are thankful to the forecasters at Gartner, who last week released a report detailing IT spending by vertical markets. Two industries claimed a place in the sun: healthcare and utilities. Not that it's all that sunny in the forecast, but Gartner's prediction is that IT expenditures in healthcare will grow 2.2 percent and utilities will invest at a slightly higher rate, which is pegged at 2.9 percent.
