Competitively, IBM is showcasing how the breadth of its storage-related hardware, software and related services can be made to work together for customers small and large.

Only EMC, the leading independent storage maker, has articulated a similarly broad strategy for managing all parts of an organisation's "information infrastructure," analysts claim.

"At some level IBM is announcing the latest, greatest versions of products that have been around quite a while," says Charles King, an analyst with Pund-IT Research. "It is also showing off really interesting next-generation capabilities."
