new, more dynamic infrastructure that will bring more intelligence,
automation, integration, and efficiencies to the digital and physical
worlds. As a result, it will enable businesses and governments to
better respond to and manage challenges presented by today's globally
integrated planet.
The new products and services enable clients to use powerful computing
systems to manage and gain insight from an increasing number of things
in their physical infrastructure that are being instrumented with
intelligent sensors. For example, a utility could build a smart grid
to eliminate wasted power, delivering power to where it is needed
most, in real time. A smart grid also helps a utilities' customers to
monitor their energy consumption in real time and view stresses in its
electrical grid instantly to schedule pre-emptive maintenance.
Key requirements for the new dynamic infrastructure are:
The integration of digital and physical infrastructure, providing
the ability to use information technology to manage business
processes, increasingly intelligent physical infrastructure and
assets, and drive new and improved services as a result.
The ability to manage, store, and analyze the 15 new petabytes of
information the world is now generating per day-- eight-times more
information than in all US libraries combined. This will enable
clients to address massive information management requirements
associated with today's governance, compliance, availability,
retention, risk, and security challenges.
A reduction of massive inefficiencies and greater resilience in
today's interconnected world. Data centers costs, for example -- for
energy, space, etc. -- have risen eight-times since 1996; and average
distributed server utilization is just 6-15%.
