Smarter Systems for a Smarter Planet

IBM Power Systems for the Large Enterprise

– which ought to be the smartest aspect of the planet – is itself in need of an intelligence makeover. It’s not a problem with the technology per se. Servers, storage, software, networking gear and the Internet will all continue to become more powerful, affordable and available. The problem is how all this technology is currently configured into systems and the way data centers are designed and operated. The way applications are developed and deployed. The way servers are managed, upgraded and kept How can we make our secure.
