Server and storage migrations during past four years total 4,500--mostly from Oracle/Sun and HP.

IBM has announced that nearly 400 customers moved critical business workloads to IBM 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.

Customers continue to turn to IBM for its long-term investments in workload-optimized systems and stable, innovative product roadmaps, producing systems that reduce data center costs and are designed for emerging workloads such as analytics.
