As a result, it's often found inside devices that use Linux in very resource-constrained environments, such as consumer firewall/routers. </p>

19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; " That sounds real good in theory, but do you really see mainframes as a service-only offering? I know that has been IBM's dream ever since the invention of the mainframe (have customers rent time-share services on IBM-premised hardware without customer ownership), but I've never seen the company be completely successful at it.
19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; I think a more realistic scenario would be IBM shrinking even further than it already has to handle legacy and extremely large enterprise customers. Infrastructure would sell as usual, software would sell as usual, and consulting would provide services as usual. The only caveat would be that the company would be much smaller and much more focused.
19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; The remaining customer base would simply go elsewhere, for IBM would have nothing to offer them. ISVs would do everything they could to migrate customers off of IBM platforms.

19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; The case can be made for IBM to absorb enterprise infrastructure (approx 35-40% of infrastructure) into consulting and offer it as a service. The rest of infrastructure could easily be partnered off. A win/win for the CFO

19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; Cisco and every other major cloud player is just throwing in the towel and exiting the public cloud market place. IBM did the same two weeks ago with the layoffs. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google (the big three) have won this space and are now pursuing all of the other also ran players via partnerships and front end marketing offers. The partnership offers play directly into IBMs consulting divisions offerings, and indirectly
19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; into SW divisions unique SW distribution strategy. Infrastructure division has nothing to offer public cloud customers, and as such they will shed their public cloud customers to a partnership offer as it benefits IBMs bottom line. First mover advantage(amazon) and SW monopoly offerings (Microsoft and Google) Trump the value IBM public cloud could offer and IBM has restructured appropriately pursuing the front end incentives of
