As demand for IT continues to grow, CEOs are increasingly turning to their CIOs to help implement innovative solutions. Leading CEOs are revamping their operations to be ready to act when opportunities or challenges arise. Flexible cost structures and partnering capabilities allow them to rapidly scale up or down.
Organizations across Canada need to turn their IT infrastructures into more agile and automated environments that can support change while managing the associated risks. Yet capacity limitations impede business growth, while aging facilities with power and cooling constraints threaten availability.
IBM is especially well positioned to help meet client needs. We have invested significantly in new, resilient data centre capacity. Our most recent flagship investment is a ground-up build data centre located in Barrie, Ontario, just under 100 kilometers from Toronto. It leverages global best practices developed in designing, building and operating data centres around the world.
