IBM launched the new "System z9 Business Class" mainframe, which is designed to tackle the critical computing challenges of our time.
Those include the coming wave of automated service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementations, new heightened expectations for data security and the rapid expansion of emerging markets. The aggressively positioned system features new speciality engine and capabilities.
"The IBM System z9 Business Class broadens access to the System z9 platform — the world’s most secure commercially available mainframe computer — around the globe, in India and other fast-emerging markets, where firms are rapidly deploying mainframe technology needed to achieve the scale and reliability required to keep pace in a globally integrated economy."
"The new mainframe is expected to play a growing role in healthcare and retail as it increasingly is used to process sensitive data that is progressively more shared, especially in an emerging market such as India," said Mr Jim Stallings, general manager of System z, IBM Systems and Technology Group.
Mr Alok Ohrie, director of IBM India, said, "Our efforts to modernise corporate and government IT infrastructures is served by IBM’s System z." He further said: "The rapid expansion of mid-market enterprises in India, as well as the immense pool of potential customers, calls for a system that can start small and scale on demand to meet increased demands of consolidated workloads."
