The era of smarter computing is upon us
We're in an age of rapid innovation. Behind this innovation are vast quantities of data produced by millions of connected devices and new classes of specialized workloads that are driving new requirements for optimized system design. To meet these demands, computing itself is undergoing a process of specialization and differentiation. By specifically tuning our computing systems to support the exploding array of demands that characterize a smarter planet, we can drive massive increases in performance, efficiency, and how data is collected, analyzed and applied – all delivering discernible competitive advantages. Watson on Jeopardy! is the ultimate example of what an optimized system can accomplish when it is tuned to a specific task. These new systems from IBM build on our 100-year history of innovative thinking and offer you new capabilities to extract real business insight from your data, addressing your most complex challenges.
Achieve superior IT economics
- Application server consolidation on Power™ blades and systems with new levels of scalability, energy and cost efficiency:
New IBM BladeCenter POWER7 (US)™ blades help improve performance by more than 60 percent with the same density and energy use of previous POWER7 blades.
IBM Power 750 Express (US), the same technology behind Watson, now offers as much as 2.5 times the performance of other 32-core servers.
Flexible powerful and affordable systems
- Ultimate x86 virtualization, scalability and performance with new eX5 systems.
- Faster time to value with new workload optimized systems (US) for database and analytics.
New possibilities for business insight
- Achieve insights from data faster and at up to half the energy cost with Intelligent Cluster HPC solutions (US).
