Patents are not pathetic. Other companies still make new patents.
Including those like Microsoft and Google.
Patents are still valid and important even if some company have only few
of them or cannot make any.

IBM patents are mostly pathetic. They patent stuff like "how to create a
railroad diagram using REXX . It's embarrassing! The likes of Google,
Facebook and even the new Microsoft open source all of their code so
everybody can use it for free. Software patents are nothing more then
bargaining chips. Google doesn't care about who has access to their
code. They give it away for free.

IBM, as usual, almost always leads the US in patents. This year is no

Well, big companies ARE using AWS, GCP, and Azure for critical information.
We deal with them every day.
And for the record, I'm hardly an IBM or mainframe basher. I just call out
BS when I see it, like that 1.3M/second. Which you have not responded to.
It was IBM who said they came up with that by taking their largest
customers and extrapolating. Using that methodology, every car is good for
2M miles and gets 80MPG. Oh, and we're all billionaires. See how bad that
approach is?
Now, if the $6B is true, that's fascinating. It still doesn't explain why
the dozens of large mainframe shops we work with NEVER mention IBM when
they talk cloud. Maybe IBM has a few really big clients (.gov)? I don't
know.
Back to processing credit card transactions--again, processors don't use z.
(Well, I can think of a couple that do, but by and large, they don't.)
You're confusing processors, acquirers, issuers, and brands. Those are
different.

Bill, you can quote self-serving SHARE fodder all you like, but the fact
remains: IBM cloud is a joke in the industry. Doesn't mean it couldn't
become a player, but that's aspirational at best. That SHARE transaction
quote is nonsense--do the math: 1.3M/sec=112,320,000,000 per day. 112
BILLION. That's 16 transactions per day per person on the planet. Be
serious. That number comes from IBM, was extrapolated by taking their
largest five customers and multiplying by the number of z/OS systems out
there. Lies, damned lies, and statistics and all that, eh?
And plenty of real, serious, multi-billion-dollar companies use AWS, Azure,
and even GCP.
You work for a vendor; you have access to lots of industry knowledge from
the real world, not SHARE or IBM marketing. Talk to your peers. Learn. The
truth is out there.

Large enterprises aren’t building on AZURE & AWS. Lots of smaller
companies
are. Because of the costs. AZURE & AWS are on the way to commoditization.
Because it’s easy to replicate. In fact, AZURE growth is beginning to
slow.
Even with the government contract.

2 completely different markets. AZURE & AWS are consumer market clouds.
IBM is enterprise.

and lists the top 5 vendors, comprising more than half the market, and
then
notes that the next ten players--of whom IBM is one--"account for another
26% of the SaaS market".
So IBM has a couple of percent; as I said, that's a joke. Not a major
player.

Don't know anything about this directly, but It actually might help
the "traditional" portfolio by allowing more focus.
The cloud portion can benefit from reduced bureaucracy, so on the
surface,
this is a win-win.
OTOH, how many cloud providers have been hacked to date. I recall
APPLE, AMAZON and I think one more.
