Virtualisation Networking

Virtualisation is about flexibility - moving a resource to where it’s needed when it’s needed - but traditional networks may not be designed to handle the increased traffic. In a dynamic infrastructure, networks must provide the flexibility and responsiveness to allow workloads to be moved around for efficient use of IT resources. Getting the network right is critical to realising the benefits of virtualisation.

How IBM Predictive Analysis Helps Tame Big Data

IBM recently announced new consulting services and software that take the power of predictive analytics to new levels of impact for the highest-priority issues of corporate decision makers–those in the C-suite. The new analytic offerings address the emerging opportunities of big data to manage financial operations, decrease fraud and nurture next-generation customer relationships.

Based on experiences drawn from more than 20,000 analytics engagements, the new solutions combine innovations developed by IBM Research with new predictive technologies from dozens of companies Big Blue has acquired.

IBM hopes to significantly broaden the group of clients—specifically C-suite leaders—who can adopt analytics, extending IBM's leadership position in the market for business analytics. IDC estimates enterprises will invest more than $120 billion by 2015 to capture the business impact of analytics, across hardware, software and services.
