IBM expands analytics, cloud offerings for local SMEs

IBM Philippines has unveiled new server solutions designed to expand cloud and analytics capabilities of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The new offerings include high-performance systems, networking, and software products aimed at helping clients optimize data center operations.

Cloud computing deployments are expected to grow more than 19 percent per year, according to IDC, and a recent IBM CIO study showed cloud implementations nearly doubling from 33 percent to 60 percent over the last two years.

From the design of the servers, software and services, IBM solutions are created to help accelerate the journey to Smarter Computing, said Irene Catane, country executive for systems and technology group for IBM Philippines.

Among the solutions introduced is a new version of IBMs BladeCenter Foundation for Cloud (BCFC), an integrated virtualization platform with built-in system management and preconfigured with servers, storage, and networking.

BladeCenter Foundation for Cloud is now powered by the new generation of IBM BladeCenter HS23 systems that offer 62-percent more computing power, and comes integrated with the new 10GbE Virtual Fabric technology that enables clients to run 20 percent more virtual machines, creating an optimal environment for building and deploying advanced cloud applications.

The increased bandwidth and up to four times more memory allows the HS23 to support faster data transfers that are essential to virtualized cloud and analytic workloads.

In addition, IBM FastSetup for BladeCenter, a cost and time-saving console application can help clients reduce from days to hours the time it takes to complete large deployments.
