IBM has announced that nearly 400 customers moved business workloads onto its servers and storage systems from Oracle/Sun and HP in the third quarter, a record high since the company began tracking migrations more than four years ago.
IBM said customers are turning to it for systems that reduce data centre costs and are designed for emerging workloads such as analytics.
The company also said a quarterly record of 286 customers migrated to its Power Systems from competing systems in the third quarter alone – 172 from Oracle/Sun and 95 from HP. The number of migrations to IBM Power Systems through the first three quarters of 2010 is nearly 800, which already exceeds the total for all of 2009 by more than 200.
There have been more than 1,500 competitive displacements to Power from Oracle/Sun and more than 1,000 from HP since the advent of the programme in 2006. In addition, IBM said more than 100 clients switched to System x, System z and storage offerings in the third quarter.
