The University of Bari (Universita di Bari) has selected an IBM System z mainframe as part of a cloud computing project to help local businesses, including fishermen, adopt new business models.<\/p>\n
Delivering services through an IBM System z mainframe and Cloud computing allows multiple entities to tap into heavy-duty computing power at minimal cost and lowers the barrier to help local businesses to benefit from this technology.<\/p>\n
For example, using a touch screen installed on fishing boats, fishermen can immediately determine the demand in local fish markets that on average handle 100,000 tonnes of fish per year.<\/p>\n
Directly from the boats, using simple touch screen systems, fishermen enter the type of fish caught just minutes ago and instantaneously start a virtual auction with wholesalers on the docks.<\/p>\n
If the auction price for a specific type of fish is too low, the fish can be thrown back or redirected to a non-profit organisation such as a soup kitchen.<\/p>\n
If the price is acceptable, the system automatically provides the necessary distribution between boxes to allow the fish to be packed before the boat arrives at the pier.<\/p>\n
The university has also developed systems running on the IBM System z mainframe focused on wine production and logistics operations.<\/p>\n
It is developing Cloud-based solutions for southern Italy as part of the Daisy-Net consortium, which includes companies and universities from five regions of southern Italy.<\/p>\n
Daisy-Net researches, develops and provides transfer and training activities for new technologies in the information and communication technology sector and beyond.<\/p>\n
The Cloud solution is built on an IBM System z9 Business Class mainframe running the Linux operating system, and includes DB2, WebSphere and Tivoli middleware from IBM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
