How Can IBM Power8 Win Deals Away From Intel Xeon?

This is not the first time that Big Blue has found the weakest in the data center, and probably not the last time, either. But the ubiquity of the Xeon processor in the racks of IBM servers around the world represents a difficult challenge, as it tries to position their platforms of power, as well as those that will soon be their partners OpenPower Foundation. Maybe starting next month, in fact.

The stakes are different this time, and one could argue that Intel and its legion of storage systems, and partners are more insurmountable than any enemy IBM has faced, including the division of the Justice Department of the United States Antitrust ago, when the Government was not willing to tolerate regulated monopolies. But with the sale of its System x Lenovo last fall, IBM has made it clear that he thinks he can create an ecosystem of partners that can power a credible alternative to the Xeon platform in the data center, especially for goods that works as a lots of wires and the bandwidth of the memory.

Apple, for example, was certainly run your business on the rocks in 1990, barely keep his business fanboi PC until it reaches zero with the iPod in 2001, he moved his PC PowerPC chips to Intel Core and Xeon in 2006, and continued gracefully with the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in 2010 to create a monster that now obscure IBM company in terms of revenues, profits and market capitalization.
