Analyzing IBM’s long-term strengths | #IBMinsight
by Gabriel Pesek | Nov 4, 2015
At the IBM Insight 2015 event, new options and business solutions available to customers are causing a stir in the market, with cognitive computing, data management tools, converging systems and growing emphasis on cloud storage all drawing discussion of their impact on IBM’s standing.
Dave Vellante, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, met with two of Gartner, Inc.’s analysts, Donald Feinberg (VP and distinguished analyst of information management) and Merv Adrian (VP of research, data management and integration), to discuss these topics and more.
IBM’s portfolio treatment
“We’re talking about a company … that actually treats its portfolio like a portfolio, engineering its collection of products into a series of related engines that may sometimes overlap in functionality but often are far more suited to one workload or type of data than another,” Adrian stated.
He also felt that there was a focus on “new kinds of workloads with new kinds of data that require different kinds of processing,” and that IBM’s range of solutions addressed “the “[effectively disproven] idea that you’re going to stuff it all into one database to rule them all.”
Value of varied holdings
Further exploring the wide range of IBM’s business solutions, Adrian was optimistic about its long-term success, saying, “IBM is establishing a very differentiated approach to the market, which has its challenges because it’s going to be a transition that’s going to take a little while to pay off. This isn’t going to turn their numbers around in the next quarter or the quarter after that, but long-term or medium-term, it’s a good differentiated strategy.”
Feinberg felt that by pushing forward with Watson, Spark and cognitive computing, “[IBM] have a position that they can now defend; regardless of how far along they are, they’re ahead of everybody else.”
