Smarter Planet: the IBM vision for the future

• The digital infrastructure of the world will be merged with the physical infrastructure

• Intelligence will be put into the ways the world actually works

• Through pervasive instrumentation and interconnection, almost anything can become digitally aware, networked and “intelligent”

• Industries, Infrastructures, processes, entire societies can become more productive efficient and responsive

• Problems that appeared insoluble can now be tackled

The Smarter Planet Four Critical Challenges

The Foundation of The Smarter Planet Initiative

A Smarter Planet needs a Smarter Infrastructure

•

The convergence of business and IT requires a more

dynamic IT infrastructure to address current inefficiencies

and to enable the new breakthrough service

opportunities.

•

The investments for the new infrastructure can provide

the stimulus for societal and business transformation.

•

IBM’s leadership in IT technology will help clients harness

the emerging capabilities as described by the IBM annual

Global Technology Outlook (GTO) providing the

foundation for innovation.

We call it: the Dynamic Infrastructure

addressing today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities

Infrastructure Inefficiencies

• Capacity sitting idle in distributed computing environments

• Sales loss due to supply chain issues inefficiencies

• if the North American power grid were just 5% more efficient, the energy savings would equate to eliminating the fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from 53 million cars.

• Maintenance costs versus adding new capabilities

• Cost of security breaches

The Dynamic Infrastructure

Not only ensuring high availability and quality of existing services, but also meeting customer expectations for real-time, dynamic access to innovative new services.

IMPROVE SERVICE

Not just containing operational cost and complexity, but achieving breakthrough productivity gains through virtualization, optimization, energy stewardship, and flexible sourcing.

REDUCE COST

MANAGE RISK

Not only addressing today’s security, resiliency, and compliance challenges, but also preparing for the new risks posed by an even more connected and collaborative world.

Dynamic Infrastructure in ActionBank of RussiaWorking with IBM and EC-Leasing, the Bank simplified and consolidated its entire infrastructure to just four IBM System z9® Enterprise Class mainframes in two data centers. IBM Global Mirror and Metro Mirror enable mutual fail-over between the data centers, which are separated by a distance of 1,000 kilometers for disaster-protection and business resilience.BenefitsPayment processing costs reduced by 95 percent, saving US$400 million per yearServer and data center consolidation creates further savings on hardware and software licensing, maintenance and electricity, and increases securityWorkload for technical staff has been reduced by 85 percent

Police Department New York CityThe Crime Information Warehouse (CIW) solution, provides a single, easy-to-use point of access to data on virtually all crimes committed in NY's five boroughs. Using business intelligence software from IBM Business Partner Cognos along with GIS mapping and visualization tools, officers and analysts in the center can detect crime patterns as they are forming, enabling precinct commanders to take proactive measures to keep ahead of these trends BenefitsMore proactive policing tactics by virtue of an ability to see crime trends as they are happeningFaster and higher rate of case-closing through more efficient gathering and analysis of crime-related data. Reports that could take weeks or months are now available instantly

A Look into the Future

Challenges for Microprocessor & System Design

The Requirements of Evolving & Emerging Applications

Global Technology Outlook 2009

Global Technology Outlook 2009A large class of emerging applications (Smarter Planet, high-performance enterprise), for which network-speed processing and data/compute intensive modeling and simulation are an integral component, will require significant improvement in systems characteristics

Hybrid, or solution-optimized, systems (aggregation of compute intensive, network optimized, mainstream commercial, application-specific appliances and storage sub-

systems, together with middleware and system software) will provide compelling differentiation in this space.

Example: Network-speed arrival of financial information from disparate sources (news feeds, tickers, subscriptions, exchanges, clearing houses) pre-processed for risk analytics and automated trading.
