Main tent Sept 2012 presentation IBM Global Consultants / System Integrators conference - "Disruptive Innovation in the Modern IT World". This entertaining, fast-paced keynote provides an overall IT industry-wide look (not just Storage only) at Disruptive Innovation in Today's Modern IT World. We'll examine how, what, and where 2012 Internet Scale, Big Data, Mobile Disruptive Innovation is occurring, project how this will affect all in 2013 and beyond. Insightful examination/examples into how Disruptive Innovation works, thus putting clarity into why today's massive change in fabric of IT infrastructure, IT skills, and the *business models* is occurring in the blending of traditional IT with consumerization of IT, mobile devices, tablets, broadband wireless, real-time computing capabilities, real time Big Data modern analytics, and internet scale workloads. You'll come away with clarity and answers to: "What do I need to know about 2012 Disruptive Innovation in Modern IT? How will consumerization of IT, mobile technology, high performance Big Data analytics, and data center design affect by IT?" "What does this mean for my IT infrastructure and my IT staff job skills?" "What are innovative IT customers deploying today to provide competitive advantage?" "What technologies, workloads, innovation, and the job skills will be demanded in 2012 and beyond?" When referencing this material, my only request is that you give full credit to me and IBM as the authors of the research, and use the material with good business judgement. That having been said, please spread the good word. In today's internet global world, wise collaboration is how we all will thrive... .and how we as a human race will successfully address the challenges facing our collective future and our planet.

• 2012: devote 1st hour of day to keeping
current
– No longer optional
• Establish power-knowledge digital footprint,
intelligently sharing what you find
– Don’t email what you find (too much email
already)
– Use social networking, social bookmarking,
blogs, etc
• Become a power user of your smartphone’s

Richmond, Virginia had a significant problem with violent crime. In fact, in one year, they were listed as the 9 th most dangerous large city in the US. And this was not a one time problem. The following year, Richmond increased it’s rank to #5! The city had no interest in becoming the #1 most dangerous city and wanted to do something different… and do it quickly! IBM helped the City of Richmond to analyze its crime data and provide enhanced predictions on the times and locations with the highest probability of crimes. The City was able to align its resources to the areas that were most likely to experience crimes As a result, violent crime decreased in the first year by 32%. And this also wasn’t a 1-time decrease. The following year, violent crime fell another 40% moving Richmond from #5 on the list of the most dangerous US cities to #99. Most cities can’t afford to keep adding new resources. Our goal is to use our resources more effectively in fighting crime and keeping our cities safe. On our smarter planet, technology can help us do that.
There is a new class of data rich companies emerging where the company’s value is based on the amount of information it can store and exploit. We call these “hyperscale data companies.” Examples of the hyperscale data companies today are Google, Amazon, and Facebook. In order for these companies to grow revenue and profit, their business models require that be able to store vast amounts of data. As a result, storage becomes a core competence for these companies. We see that over time, companies in various industries will need to collect, store, and exploit very large amounts of data and will move towards becoming hyperscale data companies. Two examples: A large healthcare company currently has 3.5 petabytes of data and is installing new imaging scanners that generate 1 terabyte per session and over 2 ½ petabytes per year. In order to provide high quality healthcare to their patients and offer more services, they will need to store this data for years to come and have that data readily accessible. A large insurance company currently has 20 petabytes of data and grows by over 300 terabytes a month – every month. In addition to using this data to process claims, they want to be able to exploit this data to provide services to other claims processors and to provide services across the healthcare ecosystem.

Google says the majority of its capital investments are for IT infrastructure, including data enters, servers, and networking equipment. In the past the company’s CapEx spending has closely tracked its data center construction projects, each of which requires between $200 million and $600 million in investment.

http://mashable.com/2007/07/11/google-maps-mashups-2/ A mashup is a lightweight web application that combines data from more than one source into an integrated and new, useful experience. TaxiWiz Figure out how much a cab ride is likely to cost beforehand by plotting your route in six different cities including New York and San Francisco. From LAX airport to 930 Wilshire Blvd where this conference is taking place; Estimated cost: That cab ride would cost about $42.00. That's roughly $48 with a 15% tip. It is about 17.9 miles. There is a $42.00 flat fare for trips from LAX Airport to Los Angeles.
