Thread regarding IBM layoffs

IBM’s HPC Dreams are Tattered

Knowledgeable HPC customers and observers know that losing the latest DOE deals was a significant
setback for IBM. This can’t be glossed over. They also know that IBM’s Power-based systems aren’t
setting the HPC world on fire. But company insiders reading an article like this might take it as a signal
that all is well and allow complacency to set it.
Losing these deals, plus the state of their HPC market share, should be a wake-up alarm for IBM, not a
snooze button.

IBM executives: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. . .

Honestly, while there's prestige associated with this stuff, from a revenue and profit standpoint, it's really minimal impact. Exiting that business, in exchange for some real acquisitions (i.e. not red hat) would make sense.
