Venerable tech giant IBM is kicking off the month of February with something new to tout — z13.
Billed as one of the most sophisticated computer systems ever built, z13 delivers scale and economics together with real-time encryption and analytics.
The end result, IBM says, is a system that can help meet the expectations of consumers for speed and safety for trillions of transactions in the modern mobile economy.
“The z13 system culminates a $1 billion investment, five years of development, exploits the innovation of more than 500 new patents and represents a collaboration with more than 60 clients – underscoring IBM’s singular commitment to providing higher-value, innovative technologies to clients,” the company said in a news release.
“Every time a consumer makes a purchase or hits refresh on a smart phone, it can create a cascade of events on the back end of the computing environment,” says said Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president of IBM Systems. The z13 is designed to handle billions of transactions for the mobile economy. Only the IBM mainframe can put the power of the world’s most secure datacenters in the palm of your hand. Consumers expect fast, easy and secure mobile transactions. The implication for business is the creation of a secure, high performance infrastructure with sophisticated analytics.”
