According to our global study of more than 800 cloud decision makers and users are becoming increasingly focused on the business value cloud provides. Cloud is integral to mobile, social and analytics initiatives – and the big data management challenge that often comes with them and it helps power the entire suite of game-changing technologies. Enterprises can aim higher when these deployments are riding on the cloud. Mobile, analytics and social implementations can be bigger, bolder and drive greater impact when backed by scalable infrastructure. In addition to scale, cloud can provide integration, gluing the individual technologies into more cohesive solutions. Learn how companies are gaining a competitive advanatge with cloud computing.

Assembling a clustered environment can be complex due to the many software components that are required to enable technical and high performance computing (HPC) applications to run effectively. This webcast will demonstrate how IBM Platform Computing products simplify cluster deployment, use and management, bringing high performance capabilities to both experienced and new HPC administrators and users. We will also present examples of companies utilizing Platform Computing software today, to improve performance and utilization of their HPC environment while reducing costs.

IBM Platform HPC Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) tool offers a 3-year total cost of ownership view of your distributed computing environment and savings that you could potentially experience by using IBM Platform HPC in place of competing cluster management software. This model can estimate savings with the deployment of intelligent cluster management software. The use of this simple tool does not substitute for detailed analysis. To have IBM perform a business value assessment for your environment, and provide a more accurate estimate of potential savings, please contact your IBM representative.

Hyperconverged infrastructure solutions are making substantial inroads into a broader set of use cases and deployment options, but limitations exist. I&O leaders should view HCI solutions as tools in the toolbox, rather than panaceas for all IT infrastructure problems.

Global corporate enterprise AI practitioners are clearly still dealing with infrastructure issues related to talent and technology. End-to-end processes remain stubbornly carbon-based. Rule-based automation is truly not yet globally scaled across the majority of organizations. Double the AI And yet, the AI & Intelligent Automation Network members went from 21%, having deployed Intelligent Enterprise solutions to over 44% in just one year’s time. Over 4/5 expect to deploy AI in under two years The stated goal for deployment is just under 83% by the end of 2020. Considering the fact that they’ve essentially got two years, and those ranks have doubled in one year – doubling again in two years is achievable. Incidentally, that same number was only 67% a year ago. 50% expect to be established, globally scaling or refining AI in under two years Global corporate enterprise is in fact slowly but surely transforming into the intelligent enterprise of tomorrow. Having said that, it will be

In questo rapporto di analisi, IDC prende in esame le sfide che i clienti sono chiamati ad affrontaree in termini di bilanciamento degli investimenti nelle infrastrutture esistenti, nel miglioramento dell'efficienza e nella modernizzazione dei data center, adottando tecnologie innovative e le più recenti tecniche di deployment per ottimizzare la produttività degli sviluppatori e l'agilità operativa e contenere i costi della gestione del ciclo di vita. IDC approfondisce le alternative a disposizione dei clienti per centrare questi obiettivi, puntando su infrastrutture in grado di supportare i carichi di lavoro esistenti e quelli di prossima generazione e sul ruolo della standardizzazione e modernizzazione per l'ottimizzazione operativa.

One of the challenges of introducing Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is the complexity of implementation and integration at three points.

Today’s assets, including equipment, vehicles, and shipping containers, move via multiple transportation modes at varying speeds across a range of distances and geographies. The journeys of these assets are fraught with problems, including lost and stolen goods, delayed shipments, and damage from incorrect environmental conditions. HERE is looking to solve the problems of keeping track of things, both outdoors and indoors. IoT deployments rely on location tracking to function effectively. With the significant cost of delayed, lost and stolen goods – location tracking offers a huge market opportunity. ISG Research had an extensive briefing with to analyze the company’s ambitions to reach deeper into the IoT and Asset Tracking market. Download to learn more about active tracking of high value products and how to enhance your tracking solutions.

IBM Cloud Private for Data is an integrated data science, data engineering and app building platform built on top of IBM Cloud Private (ICP). The latter is intended to a) provide all the benefits of cloud computing but inside your firewall and b) provide a stepping-stone, should you want one, to broader (public) cloud deployments. Further, ICP has a micro-services architecture, which has additional benefits, which we will discuss. Going beyond this, ICP for Data itself is intended to provide an environment that will make it easier to implement datadriven processes and operations and, more particularly, to support both the development of AI and machine learning capabilities, and their deployment. This last point is important because there can easily be a disconnect Executive summary between data scientists (who often work for business departments) and the people (usually IT) who need to operationalise the work of those data scientists

At a projected market of over $4B by 2010 (Goldman Sachs), virtualizationhas firmly established itself as one of the most importanttrends in Information Technology. Virtualization is expectedto have a broad influence on the way IT manages infrastructure.Major areas of impact include capital expenditure and ongoingcosts, application deployment, green computing, and storage.

Countless studies and analyst recommendations suggest the value of improving security during the software development life cycle rather than trying to address vulnerabilities in software discovered after widespread adoption and deployment. The justification is clear.For software vendors, costs are incurred both directly and indirectly from security flaws found in their products. Reassigning development resources to create and distribute patches can often cost software vendors millions of dollars, while successful exploits of a single vulnerability have in some cases caused billions of dollars in losses to businesses worldwide. Vendors blamed for vulnerabilities in their product's source code face losses in credibility, brand image, and competitive advantage.

Virtualization continues to grow at 20 percent or more per year, but it is not expected to overtake existing physical architectures at least through 2010. This white paper examines the unique challenges of virtualization and offers tips for its successful management alongside IT's physical deployments.
