• 1911 - Officially founded (IBM).

• 1930s - Punch cards processing equipment.

• Mark1 – the first machine to compute long calculations automatically.

• 1980S – First wave of connectivity – linked people within a business and between academic communities via email.

• 1990s - Second wave of connectivity – enabled businesses and growing number of people to interact via email, web browsers and collaborative tools.

Evolution of role

2000’s

• Super computer road

Map.

• Third wave of connectivity – connecting the digital and physical words and ever tighter integration into human lives.

• IBM Blue Gene.

2000’s (cont.)

• There are four Blue Gene projects in development: Blue Gene/L, Blue Gene/C, Blue Gene/P, and Blue Gene/Q.

• The project was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation by U.S. President Barack Obama on

September 18, 2009.

#3

IBM and the IT industryOracle

• Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison is investing heavily to integrate Sun technology.

• Sun's Sparc chips able to run a database performance benchmark at a speed of 30.2 million transactions per second, 3 times as fast as a test result of IBM new product.

Cloud Hosting

• Cloud hosting is a web hosting service delivered from a group of connected servers.

• A cloud hosting service is usually delivered from a load-balanced cluster server platform, while the data is stored in a SAN (Storage Area Network).

• Cloud Benefits Server Simplicity• Cascade combines the best hosting technologies

to bring you exceptional security, scalability, and redundancy- all with dedicated server simplicity.

IBM Today (focus – area of study)

#6

New Computer Chip

• Silicon Nano-photonics will dramatically increase the speed and performance between chips (CMOS).

• The design puts a six-channel WDM onto the chip in 1.26 square millimeters and six receiver channels in 1.86 square millimeters.

• The Tb/sec of bandwidth in the on-chip optical transceivers is a requirement.

• Processor core will transmit into the on-chip optical routing and out of it.

• This could transport data inside a computer significantly faster.

• The supercomputer will be approximately one thousand times faster than the fastest machine today.

Summary/Conclusion• The fate of IBM promises to be one of the great

business stories of the 1990’s-has been well headed this far.

• IBM has remained America's top company for over a decade; it has embodied the best qualities and pioneered a new technology, dominated world markets, grew rapidly, treated employees decently and was highly profitable.
