Building a Smarter Planet A mandate for change is a mandate for smart Rajesh Nambiar - VP & General Manager, IBM India 02/12/2009

Our world is becoming INSTRUMENTED Our world is becoming INTERCONNECTED Virtually all things, processes and ways of working are becoming INTELLIGENT

+ + = An opportunity to think and act in new ways — economically, socially and technically.

Something meaningful is happening… The world is smaller. The world is getting smarter. The world is flatter. Because it can. Because it must. Because we want it to.

In 2005 there were 1.3 billion RFID tags in circulation… by 2010 there will be 33 billion Increasing types & volumes of intelligent devices are spewing data into this world… … a trillion connected objects – cars, appliances, cameras, roadways, pipelines – comprising the "Internet of Things."

In 2001, there were 60 million transistors for every human on the planet ... … by 2010 there will be 1 billion transistors per human…each costing 1/10 millionth of a cent. By 2010, the codified information base of the world is expected to double every 11 hours New Intelligence Huge volumes of digital data Data variety, and noise, across devices Velocity of decision making Logical interpretation of such data

In a small business district in Los Angeles, driving around for parking in one year generated the equivalent of 38 trips around the world, burned 47,000 gallons of gas, emitted 730 tons of carbon dioxide.

67 percent of energy in the U.S. is lost due to grid inefficiencies.

Increase in global water usage since the 1900s, twice the rate of human population growth 50 percent of the world’s population is projected to live in areas of water scarcity by 2030 Green and Beyond Laws, regulations and standards Opportunities and challenges Stakeholder expectations Costs and availability

In the United States alone, 2.2 million dispensing errors are made a year because of handwritten prescriptions

The number of emails sent every day is estimated to be over 200 billion … 80% of new data growth is unstructured content, generated largely by email, with increasing contribution by documents, images, and video and audio

In North America, up to 22 percent of total port volume is empty containers. The Port of Jersey has 100,000 empty containers sitting in storage – worth nearly $200 million. Economic Pressures Global competition The demanding consumer IT integration Smart Work

In distributed computing environments 85% of computing capacity sits idle. In six years the power consumption of a server has risen from 8 watts to more than 100 watts per $1,000 worth of technology .

The average number of servers is expected to grow another 50% by 2010 Dynamic Infrastructure Rising cost pressures New risks and threats Higher service expectations Emerging technologies
