Bromont Canada is outsourced? It has been there since 1972.
Who is posting this cr-p?
What is left of IBM infrastructure in the US?
The people building System z and programming z/OS in Poughkeepsie,
and Power machines
and IBM tape drives and disk drives
Whoever posted this sure does NOT know what IBM Infrastructure consist of and the fact that enterprise storage / networking is key to IBM’s AI Cloud directive. Yes, Infrastructure has been slimmed down as to size, but was done to best fit its offering to IBM’s overall game plan. So good try with trying to bring negativity to the table, but you looking in the wrong place.
IBM-funded siliconangle just hyping up this "AI" bubble with another puff piece (they do dozens like these every day)
What is left of IBM infrastructure in the US? Not that much, mostly a bunch of good nothing useless executives, and a bunch of incompetent STSM and DEs. The work has already migrated to India Business Machine.
Next, for infrastructure, to be plait from IBM and sold to some Indian conglomerate.
Modern technology companies have long outsourced manufacturing to outside firms, keeping design in house. IBM is no different from Apple or NVidia in doing this...they abandoned vertical integration long ago.
The title doesn't make any sense. No mention of farming the IP, and the manufacturing is in house.
