IBM launches System z9 Business Class mainframe in India

IBM India has launched the new System z9 Business Class mainframe designed to tackle the critical computing challenges of our time such as the coming wave of automated Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations, new heightened expectations for data security and the rapid expansion of emerging markets.

The company said the IBM System z9 Business Class broadens access to the System z9 platform 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 Jim Stallings, general manager of System z, IBM Systems and Technology Group.

Alok Ohrie, Director of Systems and Technology Group, IBM India, said, "Our effort to modernise corporate and government IT infrastructures is uniquely served by IBM’s System z. 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."

The new machine is designed for a world that each day is generating vast amounts of data and transactions from many of different sources, both heterogeneous and homogeneous networks of machines.
