University of Bari Uses IBM System z Cloud To Help Fishermen Auction Catch While at Sea

摘要

IBM Corp. announced in July that the University of Bari has selected an IBM System z mainframe as part of a cloud computing project that will help fishermen adopt new business models. Using a touch screen installed on fishing boats, fishermen can immediately determine demand in fish markets that on average handle 100,000 tons of fish per year. From these systems installed on their boats, fishermen can enter the type of fish caught just minutes before and instantaneously start a virtual auction with wholesalers on the docks.
