Interesting that they want to move into cloud & software products so aggressively.

What large hardware companies have done similar moves successfully in the past? (honest question)

Cisco is working pretty hard to get their enterprise stuff out there (though really it's just part of a plan to drive more hardware sales).

Well if, looking at the future, CPU time will be commoditized and centralized implying less sales, they should try to get in on what /will/ happen which is the cloud business. Makes sense.

IBM leaps to mind, but they are old enough that it's probably not a fair comparison.
