IBM Cloud TITSUP: Techies investigate troubling storage underperformance

rotmos

The same problem in AMS01, AMS03, FRA02, FRA04 and MIL01. Which looks like different availability zones (or whatever IBM calls it) and regions. So it is impossible to build a highly available system with IBM cloud.

Who are their main customers, hobbyists?

Uber cut some corners to save a buck, who would have thought.

IBM gives Services staff until 2019 to get agile

rotmos

They probably need to go through some mandatory really boring videos, answer some stupid questions and voila, they are agile! And get a silly badge labelled "Agile practioner" which they can publish on LinkedIn.

Fail-fast, again and again.

IBM lifts its 22-quarter shrinking sales curse: Finally, a whole 1% uptick

In the result "Cloud" is mentioned twice as "Cloud revenues" and "Cloud Platforms" (lumped together with "Technology Services" for some reason). But "Cloud" is also a part of "Strategic Imperatives", right?

If the objective is to obscure the reality for those like me with limited cognitive abilities by using a cloudy message it certainly worked.

If The Register was to report every time any other car brand was involved in an accident there would not be room for much else.

F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen on IoT: If it uses electricity, it will go online

IoT Jammer

If these things really will be able to go online without using Wi-Fi then there should be a market for IoT-jammers.

The Big Blue Chopper video that IBM might want to keep quiet

I am disappointed, the limo is a wimpy Mercedes and not a Rolls-Royce?!

IBM SoftLayer plays hardball in object storage price cuts

rotmos

Ibm sells PC:s, disks and Intel servers because it is commodity and moves to high margin offerings like, eh, cloud.

IBM. Sigh. Revenues. Sigh. Down. Sigh. For the 20th quarter in a row

rotmos

Cognitive solutions, up 2.1 per cent? Considering it seems that they are betting the farm on this it should be 21 per cent up.

Ex-IBMer sues Google for $10bn – after his web ad for 'divine honey cancer cure' was pulled

Re: what's the date today?

Better way:

Get wallet out

Find real money

Give real money to shop assistant

Get real money (change) back (if applicable)

Put real money (change) in wallet (if applicable)

Done

Apple, Google, NSA, Visa etc safe. No one knows what, where and when you have shopped (except the shop assistant who has forgotten you the same second the money has been received).
