2. Welcome to the Cognitive Era:
A new era in technology, a new era in business
Data is transforming industries and professions
Computing is entering a new Cognitive Era
The world is being reinvented in code
Where code goes, where data flows, cognition will follow.
As you heard recently, IBM has announced our new strategy and PoV that unites and activates our entire portfolio
Cognitive is the intersection between digital biz and digital intelligence
It’s being driven by three key trends in the marketplace
1) Data is transforming industries and entire professions
Most industries are seeing data growth of 2X by 2017…most of which is driven by unstructured data
2) The world is being reinvented in code
Software is dominating products and services
And it’s APIs that’s serving as the glue to connect product and services together
3) And computing is entering a new cognitive era
With Watson being the most advanced such system
Please do review all of the Cognitive Era enablement materials for context….but the bottom line is that where code goes, data flows, and cognitive will follow….it really is the infusion of digital analytics into digital business

3. IT leaders must drive innovation at unprecedented speed and scale …
IT leaders must drive innovation at unprecedented speed and scale …. … while maintaining their core businesses
Driving innovation:
Maintaining business:
IoT will connect 30 billion devices by 2020
6.75 TBs of data will be created per person per day by 2018
48% of shoppers want on-demand personalized promotions
Average cost of a data breach in 2020 will exceed $150 million
65% of transactions with healthcare organizations will be mobile by 2018
Average hourly cost of downtime is over $1.6 million
And with all of this change in the market landscape – driven by technology, it’s up to the IT leader to make it happen….to move the business forward
But IT leaders have a lot on their plate….they don’t just have to lead the innovation agenda for their company, but they also have to maintain their existing business operations – which is not easy
Think about all of the things they need to do for driving business growth….examples include tapping into the IoT ecosystem, delivering personalized services through biz intelligence, and supporting new mobile engagements and interactions. That’s just on the innovation side….
With maintaining business operations, they need to support this massive data growth, protect their business from security threats, and keep the business running 24 x 7
It’s no surprise that many IT leaders are underwater with change

4. We believe mastering hybrid cloud means evolving IT infrastructure in three areas
Accelerate speed of innovation for new services
Deliver real-time business visibility and insights
Ensure secure, compliant and predictable IT services
Integration for Mobile Services
Tap into your ecosystem and extend infrastructure investments to drive innovation
Data for Analytics Services
Integrate data from various sources and derive real-time insights from oceans of data
Operations for Service Predictability
Create an infrastructure and service management strategy based on business needs
We in IBM Systems believe that mastering hybrid cloud means evolving your IT infrastructure in 3 areas: Integration for Mobile Services, Data for Analytics Services and Operations for Service Predictability
To help accelerate speed of innovation, IT leaders are leveraging integration to better connect with their ecosystem as part of the API economy
To help deliver real-time business insights, leaders are leveraging data to derive real-time insights to improve business decisions
And to ensure predictable services, leaders are focusing on operations by creating a strategy with the right infrastructure and management capabilities based on business needs.
Let’s go through each of the three areas in more detail to expand upon the key infrastructure capabilities and why it matters.

5. Integration for mobile services accelerates innovation to differentiate from competitors and access cognitive services
Accommodated data growth and ensured % system availability for SAP mobile apps
The value of Integration for Mobile Services is transformative.
Andreas Nischwitz comments: “By using IBM DB2 on z/OS database management technology, we know that we can rely on the robust z Systems solution to support our operations 24 hours a day, with no unplanned downtime.” SCHWENK deployed IBM FlashCopy for quick data backup, using the IBM Systems Storage TS7740 Virtualization Engine and IBM Systems Storage TS3500 Tape Library solutions for long-term archiving with IBM enterprise tape technology. To ensure that SCHWENK could recover operations even in the highly unlikely event of server hardware outage, the company teamed with IBM Global Technology Services to establish a cost-efficient recovery plan. In the event of disaster, SCHWENK can recover operational data quickly and resume full operations.

Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
