Does IBM Have Sun Stroke?
The rumored IBM purchase of Sun for $7 billion dollars will likely turn out to be a blunder. while, Sun does have some compelling technology and a large customer base, they are a dying franchise. why not just offer Sun customers a compelling trade-in offer and hire away some of their smartest people?
Right now enterprise customers want more cloud technologies they can purchase as a service. Capex bad, opex good. Why wouldn’t IBM invest the $7 billion in creating the services and products of the future rather than lapping up the past?
