One trillion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2011. Digital data is projected to grow by 10 times in that same period. Everything from cars, appliances, roadways, power grids, clothes, and even natural systems such as agriculture and waterways are increasingly instrumented, interconnected and infused with intelligence.
At the heart of this transformation is software that powers today's systems and processes. It's the key to making sense of a smarter planet and harnessing its potential. It can help make businesses, industries, governments - and the world - work better.
We're in an age of rapid innovation. Behind this innovation are vast quantities of data produced by millions of connected devices and new classes of specialized workloads that are driving new requirements for optimized system design. To meet these demands, computing itself is undergoing a process of specialization and differentiation.
