Big Blue to become Big Blue Sun?

Early reports coming in on IBM thinking about buying Sun.  http://www.pcworld.com/article/161456/report_ibm_is_in_talks_to_buy_sun_microsystems.html
 
I have to wonder is this a response to Cisco's push into the server market?  Is this the beginning of the end for Solaris or is it a new life for Solaris?  This will be an interesting one to watch.  It maybe good for Sun which seems to be completely inept at getting any kind of marketing going at all.  I'm not entirely sure what IBM is gaining from this.  I hear the server market noise but I'm not sure I totally buy into that.
