How Can IBM Power8 Win Deals Away From Intel Xeon?


This is not the first time that Big Blue has found the weakest in the data center, and probably not the last time, either. But the ubiquity of the Xeon processor in the racks of IBM servers around the world represents a difficult challenge, as it tries to position their platforms of power, as well as those that will soon be their partners OpenPower Foundation. Maybe starting next month, in fact.

The stakes are different this time, and one could argue that Intel and its legion of storage systems, and partners are more insurmountable than any enemy IBM has faced, including the division of the Justice Department of the United States Antitrust ago, when the Government was not willing to tolerate regulated monopolies. But with the sale of its System x Lenovo last fall, IBM has made it clear that he thinks he can create an ecosystem of partners that can power a credible alternative to the Xeon platform in the data center, especially for goods that works as a lots of wires and the bandwidth of the memory.

It 'important not to underestimate any large company that has proven longevity. Apple, for example, was certainly run your business on the rocks in 1990, barely keep his business fanboi PC until it reaches zero with the iPod in 2001, he moved his PC PowerPC chips to Intel Core and Xeon in 2006, and continued gracefully with the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in 2010 to create a monster that now obscure IBM company in terms of revenues, profits and market capitalization.

IBM Regenerates African Tech And Johannesburg’s Inner-city


Closing in Johannesburg Braamfontein Is not For the Faint of Heart After sunset. European visitors can Picked Warnings local, while the day for fourth Seems Like what Brixton or Hackney in 1980, the son of tombs caveats.On Recent THESE But a visit to View Technology Center gradually emerging from Space extraordinary co Work and create JoziHub and Other Initiatives, hay muchas Things to Bring Positive.

However, let's say it's the first time I walked 200 meters from my hotel, flanked by two large men Safety I argued with me after he rose from his club. Downtown Braamfontein is More Than The Dangerous prospect of Soweto, 20 miles to the east, where the community if charge of The Strangers, here's refreshing surprise for this IBM developed That opening of Second Research Center in Braamfontein.

Instead of placing the laboratory in a (relatively) gleaming office tower in the center or on a university campus, IBM is working with the University of Witwatersrand in your project Tshimologong Precinct in an attempt to transform Braamfontein future technological center of South Africa .The child's position in the heart of the city will allow our researchers to be part of a living laboratory to explore the role of advanced digital technologies and big data analytics in urban renewal.

Researchers from IBM and its partners will develop solutions using computational modeling, the Internet of Things and cognitive systems to engage more effectively with citizens and to establish a model for revitalizing downtown worldwide. The strategy seems to be. if we can do here, we can do it anywhere. Johannesburg laboratory is dedicated to bring to bring advanced technologies, including big data, cloud, analysis and mobile technologies to support national priorities of South Africa and to address the major continental challenges.

When completed in early 2016, the new IT center includes meeting rooms, spaces for collaboration, data center and incubator for beginning teachers, students, entrepreneurs and investors. The new research team in South Africa will be led by Dr. Solomon Assefa, who co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and 45 patents. E 'was named one of the top young innovators in the world under 35 years of MIT Technology Review in 2011 and Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

When I visited South Africa over a year ago by the IBM Research Center in New York, I was surprised with the advanced level of science and technology in the country. The country has four Nobel prizes in science and medicine, and some of the best research institutions in the world. We are determined to be part of a thriving community so that different groups of people live, work, invent and build businesses.

We believe we can play a valuable role there helping entrepreneurs to develop breakthrough technologies can bring to the market, says Dr. Solomon Assefa, director of IBM Research Laboratory in South Africa. The news of the laboratory Braamfontein comes 15 months after opening the first IBM research laboratory in Nairobi Africa and underlines its commitment to the development of Africa. The company operates in Africa for nearly 100 years. Today, with operations spanning 24 countries, including South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Kenya and Tanzania.

Stacy Hobson, 35, a woman of Hopewell Junction, who works in the laboratory of IBM in Yorktown Heights, is a scientist whose first degree was in computer science, but continued to be a PhD in neuroscience and cognitive science deserve.Why choose this course? Because it's not just about technology. It is also how people technology, said.

Hobson now has 11 full patents in areas such as mobile devices and cloud computing, which is compared to the use of remote systems online via the simplest and personal devices maintaining their own space since the launch of IBM in 2002. Most are computer.

One Hobson patent law; The coordination of data exchange between applications on mobile devices. Said Hobson, people with data and information at hand, no matter where they are used. I think it's a kind of huge mindset change in society right now.
