It's probably worth remembering that a company the size of FedEx isn't going to be paying the listed prices.

They actually probably be paying more that the average listed prices, as Mainframe (basically a on-premise PaaS, where IBM rents you high performance, distributed and redundant hardware cluster on a pay-as-you-use manner) users are often dependent on very high reliability, high uptime and low latency.
