I don't think they are actually selling those machines so well. They have a captive legacy customer base, who else is buying those?

- neverartful 2y agoFrom TFA: "Overall, Z is growing very healthily. LinuxONE is the fastest area of growth for us right now." However, he didn't elaborate or give any examples. If I were the interviewer, I would have followed it with: "Oh?! Can you provide some examples for the readers who believe that you only sell to captive audiences?"
- rbanffy 2y agoIf I had the need to ridiculously scale up a Linux workload, I’d immediately think LinuxONE or POWER. If I had the R&D budget for an on-prem VM hosting box, I’d seriously consider their smaller Express 4, which is not much pricier than a similarly capable x86 machine.
