IBM: Fiscal 4Q11 Financial Results
Storage hardware down 1% and software up 30% year-to-year
By Jean Jacques Maleval | January 23, 2012 at 2:55 pmLast quarter ended September 30, 2011 was good with storage hardware revenue growing 8% year-to-year and 12% when combined with storage software. But this one is not with yearly sales down 1% for hardware but up 5% for both activity thanks to Tivoli and its storage software sales growing 30%.
Only percentages but no figures were revealed by Big Blue but the company published digits of pie (see below) where you can see that storage hardware represents 20% of its total systems and technology revenues being at $5.8 billion. Result: $1,160 for 4Q11 for storage hardware (including disks and tapes) for the three months period ended December 31, 2011.
