Note that IBM pulled out of the _PC_ market, not the _server_ market:
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/personalcomputing/ redirects to Lenovo's website.
http://www.ibm.com/servers/ is still natively IBM (and sells
Intel-based "x-series" servers along with all the others).

Of course you can also get Linux running on Power if you want:
