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 forevery 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

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.

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
