Gartner Group Magic Quadrant 2004 Enterprise Servers

‘IBM continues to execute well on its pSeries strategy, maintaining the top position in this year's update. pSeries execution has been strong throughout

2004, and offers high-end levels of performance that few other server

vendors can match. This assessment is also based on thePower4+ technology, so

with the new Power5-based servers getting ready to ship in volume, their opportunities for quadrant leadership

should remain strong’

"Over the last year or so, IBM and HP have dueling it out with tit-for-tat, 'So take this!' - 'No! Back atcha!' releases," said Jonathan Eunice at

Illuminata. "But these have been entirely incremental - 1 percent or 2 percent kind of

things. I think IBM just decided to go nuclear. You can just see them thinking, 'Screw 3

percent! Let's do 200 percent!'"

“Enterprises should change their thinking about consolidation and pursue a server virtualization strategy rather than a server consolidation project.

Server virtualization technologies pool and connect server resources in a way that masks the physical nature and boundaries of those resources from resource users. “

— T. Bittman, Gartner Research Note, SP-21-5502 14 November 2003.

IBM virtualization technologies are designed to provide more business value than server consolidation alone

NOTES:

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
