Cloud datacenter and high performance computing hardware has been growing in double digits, but enterprise hardware has been in a rough patch for the last few years driven by the shift of certain workloads to the cloud. For IBM, based on their recent Q4 results, it looks like good news for their POWER Systems. With 4 quarters of hardware growth for the first time since 2011, it appears as though the company could be experiencing a real-life comeback story driven by POWER hardware. Long considered outdated legacy machines, I believe IBM is pointing towards the future in the public cloud, hybrid cloud, high-performance computing while supporting their traditional enterprise clients. And for the first time in a long time, the hardware future looks good. I want to spend some time talking POWER.
