Tony,

Like IBM is actually going to come out and say:

"Shipments of IBM's new "Shark" disk storage product were strong in the quarter, although overall storage revenues declined largely as a result of EMC kicking our tooshie."

ongoing price pressures in hard disk drives.
Unlike EMC, IBM does make disk drives, not just storage solutions. Many of these drives are sold to companies like Dell and I would not be surprised if they were sold to EMC. When drives get cheaper EMC's margins are improved. IBM may also see better margin on the Shark, but takes a bigger hit on the drives.
TP

Dear Tony: I thought that someone posted a reference some time ago that IBM was shipping Shark systems at a low ball figure? JDN
