IBM has developed a strategy for a dynamic infrastructure that will help organizations address higher service expectations, rising cost pressures and new risks and threats, while also laying a foundation for breakthrough productivity, accelerated value creation and the increased velocity needed to achieve the faster pace that business and society demand. In this smarter world, we need our infrastructure to propel us forward, not hold us back. This infrastructure becomes instrumented, interconnected and intelligent to bring together the business and IT infrastructure to create new possibilities across the business.

In almost every case, the transformation to a dynamic infrastructure will involve virtualization. Many IT professionals think of virtualization specifically in terms of servers. IBM, however, has a broader perspective, in which virtualization is seen as a general approach to decouple logical resources from physical elements, so that those resources can be allocated faster, more cost-effectively and more dynamically, wherever the business requires them in real time to ideally meet changing demand levels or business requirements.
