Global connectivity is driving increasingly complex supply chains,ultra-empowered consumers,and making issues such as governance and compliance,managing risk,and fending off security threats increasingly difficult and complex. And,with one-third of the world’s population on the Internet by 2011,four billion mobile web subscribers today,and the staggering amount of data and intelligence being driven by the rapid proliferation of smart sensors,RFID tags,and intelligence being built into everything from pets to power grids,the world’s infrastructure is at a breaking point.

IBM has a broad set of offerings for servers,storage,networking,software and services that help clients with their implementation of a dynamic infrastructure.
