An IBM white paper describing the infrastructure implications of today’s converging technology forces and the software defined, next-generation data center transformation vital to capitalizing on them.
The fast-changing business and IT landscape is driving the need for the next-generation data center. New opportunities advanced by escalating demand for mobility, social business and analytics cannot wait for resources to be manually procured. Response needs to be immediate to meet increasing expectations for availability, scalability and speed. IBM’s vision for the next-generation data
Organizations are operating in a world of extremely high levels of complexity driven by the realities—the benefits as well as the challenges—of newly emerging technologies. That message came through clearly from the 884 chief executive officers (CEOs) across 67 counties and 19 industries we interviewed for the 2013 IBM study, “Reinventing the rules of engagement:
This report compares IBM’s new POWER8-based scale-out Power System to Intel E5 v2 x86-based scale-out systems. A follow-on report will compare scale-up POWER8-based Power Systems to Intel scale-up servers when those POWER8-based servers become available.
The analysis for comparative positioning of IBM PowerVM on POWER8 technology was updated to examine the findings when looking at industries whose results vary from the average in virtualization deployment arena, as defined in the 2014 study titled, “Why Your Virtualization Matters”. In this further review, the positioning and differentiation of PowerVM with POWER8 and
In this report we take a detailed look at the world of Big Data and enterprise analytics, discuss the differences between analytics usage models, and provide some definitions along the way. We also take a close look at a new platform that IBM believes can best x86 on both cost and performance measures. Can IBM
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic needed high-performance, cost-effective compute, storage and virtualization capabilities to improve patient care and support growth in medical specialties and patient visits.
The rate of change in the storage world continues to accelerate. Adoption of new technologies such as virtualization and flash (semiconductor) memory has become pervasive. High-end disk arrays have not been an exception to these trends. There has been a large-scale shift toward use of hybrid, multi-tier architectures that employ flash technology and conventional hard
The universe of mobility is a complex thing, and it is ever-expanding – much like our actual universe. The other similarity mobility shares with our ever-expanding cosmos is the potential that can be realized through a rational, analytic, and comprehensive understanding.
Mobile Application Lifecycle Management (MALM) inherits all of the issues introduced at the start of the mobile era – security, compliance and privacy. This includes the security of corporate and personal data, compliance with government and industry regulations, and employee privacy. While building custom mobile apps might seem like an onerous task, the greater challenge
