5 days???

Anyone who has done any kind of a sizable data migration knows that 5 days of services barely gets you out the gate, most of my data migrations take months. How long before IBM just throws in the towel on storage HW altogether? They've laid off most of their engineering resources, revenues continue the considerable decline quarter after quarter (10%+ per quarter), trailing the industry and loosing market share. The business just cannot continue at that clip people - at least not competitively with the rest of the market with no real R&D investment or innovation...as evidenced by V7K's marketshare and this promo of scotch tape and bubble gum on a 5yr+ old product
