IBM Japan Builds New Accounting System for NYK Line
,----[ Quote ]
| To implement a system that improved responsiveness to rapidly changing
| market conditions, scaled according to throughput increases required a
| minimal implementation period, NYK Line selected IBM's open mainframe
| IBM System z990, Linux and SAP's ERP package.
|
| The strongest feature of IBM's mainframe z990 is its ability to run
| its flagship z/OS operating system concurrently with open and industry
| standard technologies such as Linux and Java Linux on a single server.
| Another distinguishing feature is the z990 offers an Integrated Facility
| for Linux, a central processor dedicated to Linux workloads, which
| allows users to temporarily turn on additional IFL engine capacity for
| spikes in usage, thereby enabling better cost management and utilization
| of IT resources.
|
| NYK Line will run its core data on its z/OS-based database and has built
| a reliable and highly secure open system to run SAP's ERP package
| on Linux.
