Servers Z,I,P, X series, software, lotus notes, POS, ATM, PC and laptop. IBM cyber is call centre mainly for ASEAN region providing 24*7 or 9*5. Most of the staff on contract like intel, amd & most US companies, subbed to employment agencies. Many jilat US think US talks abour rights and very good but in reality, many of their companies prefer contract based, can easily dispose workers and close without paying compensation.

That explains why they can't survive coz less companies use mainframe z series nowadays. Sounds like IBM got robbed by Lenovo and left with nothing. Hope Intel got robbed by PRC next then we'll get to buy cheap intel CPU & Nvidia (bought by intel) GPU.

Not sure about current price. In late 90's AS400 was about rm500k, mainframe over Rm1million. Today mainframe Z series berapa?

Clouds store vital info in overseas, undersea cable issue won't get access anymore. Hackers or internal espionage would steal those info. During MCO last year, whole world experience slow access including banks. They want to shift everything to US on virtual?

Whoah, that's more than 4x the price of I series. How long does a bank change server by the way? UOB for instance will buy server when when they get new branch or expansion, they use ZIP series, all 3 also have. Mainframe buy new after 5 or 10 years?

What happen to their CISCO division?

Are you IBMer CE from newer generation or older generation?ex-IBMer?

Great, confirmed you're IBMer. Thanks for the info. You are likely with tmn tun if you're old timer, newer batch next to 1U and get to see Cadbury Mondelez neighbours. You full time, not with Adecco. Cyberjaya under manpower or permanent.

You sure gain lots of market value there especially the exclusivity on handling the IBM technical parts that vendors are begging for detailed information. Numbers of CE landed good pay jobs elsewhere after working with IBM several years taking as much info they could get.
