    I do wonder how much of IBM’s POWER business is based on net new installations.

    If you are running a a critical system on a POWER system (e.g. banking core), it makes sense to pay a high price and avoid the risks associated with complete rewrite.

    But does IBM get any new client for their POWER systems?

      There isn’t any other vendor that offers the kind of hardware-level redundancy that IBM does.
