在IBM2006财年的第一个季度，System i同比上财年第一个季度销售收入下降22%的情况下，看看IBM对System i的许诺哈，挺有意思。

Commitment to System i
In this light, IBM's System i product is the epitome of the marketing challenge facing STG. System i is the most integrated of all IBM's server products, bundling nearly all of IBM's software and services into a neat package that touches every other product sector of IBM's business model. The goal, from IBM's perspective, is dual: Dominate the other sectors of the SMB computing sector to win converts to IBM's middleware strategies; then, transform these SMB customers into System i customers by offering a completely integrated package.

When you look at the overall IBM server strategy in this manner, the importance of the System i customer is clear: System i customers represent IBM's best clients, with the highest satisfaction rating and the greatest potential for new server revenue. Even though percentage of growth in revenues between fiscal quarters may falter—as it has during this critical market transition—IBM will not abandon System i as long as revenues continue to grow.
