Global forces are driving a fundamentally different world
● Global financial crisis is changing business priorities – and the IT that supports them– New incentives to reduce cost– Financial crisis putting new lens on TCO claims
● The business landscape is evolving, and IT must evolve with it– Increased M&A activity in a tight economy
requires rapid integration
● Government IT priorities are increasingly aligned with those of business– Major stimulus packages include both funding
for IT infrastructure – and increased scrutiny
● Technology has enabled solutions that weren't feasible in the last downturn– Bandwidth has evolved, providing greater
capacity and reliability at much lower costs

Why is Linux important in the new global economic reality?
● Linux continues to grow rapidly in share,scale, and scope, even in the downturn– 10 years have passed since IBM's initial
public commitment to Linux– Linux continues to gain features that enable it
to address broadening market opportunities– Robust ecosystem enables lower cost,
Linux-based alternatives to proprietary solutions
● Unique attributes of Linux enable novelsimplification strategies to reduce cost– Linux enables clients to choose the platform
that makes the most sense– When consolidating IT operations during
M&A activity, Linux can enable asset reuse– Consolidating on Linux can reduce OS licensing
costs (and CALs), generating savings up to 50%
● Linux is fundamental to the cloud© Steven GinnUsed with permission

Every human being, company, organization, city, nation, natural system and man-made system is becoming interconnected, instrumented and intelligent. This is leading to new savings and efficiency—but perhapsas important, new possibilities for progress.
The world is smaller.
Because it can.
Because it must.
Because we want it to.
The world is getting smarter.
The world isflatter.
Something Meaningful is Happening…

40 - 70 percent of electrical energy is lost due to inefficiencies in the grid.
In one small business district in Los Angeles alone, cars burned 47,000 gallons of gasoline just looking for parking.
Consumer products and retail industries lose about $40 billion annually due to inefficient supply chains.
In a world where 820 million people are undernourished, $48 billion worth of food is thrown away each year in the US.
Our healthcare “system” can’t link from diagnosis to drug discovery, providers, insurers, employers and patients.
Financial markets spread risk but can’t track it; this has led to undermined confidence and uncertainty.
The World Must Get Smarter

For us to make sense of this new world, we must consider four critical questions
Smart Work
Green & Beyond
New Intelligence
How can we work smarter supported
by flexible and dynamic
processes modeled for the new way people buy, live & work?
How can we take advantage of the
wealth of information
available in real time from a multitude of
sources to make more intelligent
choices?
“Data is exploding and it’s in silos”
“New business & process demands”
“Our resources are limited”
I need insight I need to work smart
I need efficiency
Dynamic Infrastructure
How do we create an infrastructure that drives down cost, is intelligent and secure, and is just as dynamic as today’s business
climate ?
“My infrastructure isinflexible and costly”
I need to respond quickly
How do we drive greater efficiencies,
compete more effectively, and
respond more quickly by taking action now
on energy, the environment, and
sustainability?

What's Special about Linux? Linux supports multiple hardware platforms
– Spanning from embedded devices to supercomputers– Speed of support for new platforms– Availability of skills, portability of applications– Scale-out through clustering as well as scale-up through SMP
Linux has an affinity with virtualization– Supported on all major hypervisors, from z/VM to VMware and Hyper-V– Ability to be paravirtualized with Xen– Inclusion of KVM as part of Linux
Linux is flexible – Modular and customizable, with flexible usage licensing
Linux is developed by an open community– Sharing skills and resources, leading to faster development

Virtualized Linux is helping to enable Dynamic Infrastructure
Linux’s cross-platform support combined with Virtualization enables smarter hardware decisions– Virtualization systems management software– Application virtualization and consolidation– Virtualization Hypervisors - VMWare, Xen, KVM,
PowerVM, and z/VM– Linux support for x86, RISC, Mainframe
Bank of Russia consolidated 200 distributed servers in 74 data centers across 11 time zones into just four mainframes in two data centers. – IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON, IBM WebSphere MQ,
IBM z/VM, IBM System z9 Enterprise Class, Linux
In today's economy, we need dynamic
infrastructures that drive down costs, and
are intelligent and secure.

Real-Time Linux is helping to enable Dynamic Infrastructure
Real-Time Linux and Java are being used to guarantee fast data and intelligence for optimal decision-making – Real-Time Linux kernels– Real-Time Java runtime environment– Certified x86 servers
IBM and Raytheon won the Red Hat Innovator of the Year Award in 2008 for their work with the US Navy for the next generation of destroyers– IBM WebSphere Real-Time, IBM
Bladecenters, Red Hat MRG (includes Real-Time Linux kernel)
In today's economy, we need dynamic
infrastructures that drive down costs, and
are intelligent and secure.

SOA and Linux are helping to enable Smart Work Linux’s flexible cross-platform support
combined with SOA Architecture supports dynamic business processes – SOA runtime and development software– Linux multiplatform support and virtualization
affinity– Processors from embedded to x86 to mainframe
Servicio Extremeño de Salud, the regional public health authority in the Extremadura region of Spain, linked patients, doctors and hospitals with an SOA system to improve the quality, efficiency and delivery of healthcare – IBM WebSphere Business Integration, IBM
POWER Systems, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, SAP for Healthcare
Today's organizations can work smarter,
