As the world changes and IT plays an increasingly critical role, all types of organizations, businesses, and governments are seeking to transform the way they deliver IT services and improve operational efficiency so they can quickly respond to changing business demands. Cloud computing can improve asset utilization, workload optimization and service delivery while reducing complexity and delivering superior IT economics.

Traditional IT Infrastructure presents challenges on many levels. It is typically:

  • Composed of silos that lead to infrastructure disconnected from the priorities of the business
  • Static islands of computing resources which result in inefficiencies and underutilized assets
  • Struggling with rapid data growth, regulatory compliance, information integrity and security concerns—all while trying to control continuously rising IT costs
  • Inflexible in the face of rapid, unprecedented changes in markets, service demands and stakeholder expectations

As a result of the challenges traditional IT infrastructures are facing, organizations are looking towards a Smarter Computing infrastructure to meet the demand for a service delivery model that enables growth and innovation while lowering overall IT costs. A cloud computing environment built with IBM® Power Systems™ helps organizations transform their data centers to meet these challenges. Power Systems cloud solutions:

  • Deliver an integrated virtualization foundation for uncompromised efficiency, maximum utilization, and the ability to scale up or down in line with business needs
  • Address the information challenge by delivering flexible and secure access to critical information where it is needed and meets the highest standards for risk management and compliance mandates
  • Redistribute the IT budget through advanced virtualization, automation and datacenter analytics
  • Utilize flexible delivery models to greatly simplify IT service delivery while providing enterprise QOS capabilities including continuous application availability, optimized performance, more scalability and enterprise-class security

IBM Power Systems cloud solutions can help customers quickly build a powerful, dynamic, and efficient cloud computing environment enabling them to reduce IT costs, improve service delivery, and foster business innovation.
