IBM's third-quarter revenue exceeded analysts' expectations, and most infrastructure orders that were previously delayed have been re-placed, indicating that related business is resuming. IBM announced after the market on Wednesday that revenue for the quarter ending September 30 increased by about 5% to US$17.1 billion. Revenue from the infrastructure business, including mainframe servers, increased 4% to $3.7 billion. Both figures were higher than the average analysts' expectations compiled by Bloomberg. IBM Chief Financial Officer Jim Kavanaugh said in an interview that about two-thirds of the mainframe and related software deals that were postponed earlier this year have now been signed.
