Though he declined to comment on any sales projections, Mauri did say that he has personally briefed more than 100 clients in the last four months. So no unusual hiring is expected in connection with it, Mauri said. Mainframe development and production is an ongoing cycle at Poughkeepsie. "I'm very proud of the people of Poughkeepsie, and the innovation that is in this new machine," Mauri said. While several IBM labs around the globe contributed elements of the System z boxes and software, Mauri said, "Poughkeepsie is the center of the universe for the mainframe," and "where it all comes together." The processor microchips that are the heart of the system are being made at the East Fishkill semiconductor plant. More than 500 patents for this system were developed by IBMers, and the majority of them came from IBMers in Poughkeepsie, East Fishkill or Yorktown Heights, Mauri said. IBM says the system is the first one to use real-time encryption of all mobile transactions, a feature that IBM hopes will appeal to companies doing business in a world troubled by frequent security breaches.Īlso, the system has analytic ability to run real-time fraud detection on all business transactions at a rate they say is 17 times faster than any competitor at a fraction of the cost. IBM figures such online deals will grow to 40 trillion daily by 2025 as mobile devices and apps spread ubiquitously. The company's announcement says the system can handle 2.5 billion transactions per day, equal to 100 Cyber Mondays. Mauri said 92 of the nation's top 100 banks use IBM mainframes, and that 23 of the top 25 retailers do. It all ends up going through those background servers, and IBM dominates that field. But increasingly, business is coming in from mobiles: tablets and smartphones. Mainframes are running in the background, processing a huge volume of requests sent via desktops and point-of-sale systems in stores. "This is the first system that's been designed from the ground up for the mobile app economy," said spokesman Chris Rubsamen. This is the 13th generation of modern mainframes, but this one has been redesigned "from the casters up," along with the software, Mauri said. People are shopping and doing commerce on their phones." "They're doing business, whether they are mobile payments, mobile banking, putting in insurance claims, booking airline travel, booking a hotel room. Billions of people have smart phones," said Ross Mauri, general manager of System z, in an interview with the Poughkeepsie Journal. It's favored by big financial institutions and merchants around the world.Īnd that world is moving rapidly to mobile devices. And though you may never buy a million-dollar mainframe, your online life almost certainly involves this IBM server line, in data centers somewhere, when you make transactions. ![]() And the company is counting on its new mainframe, whose design and production is centered in Poughkeepsie, for a sales shot in the arm.Ĭalled the z13, it is the product of $1 billion and five years of development work, which included many of the thousands of IBMers who work or live in Dutchess County. is reshaping its top-of-line computers to better serve the increasingly mobile world. ![]() Language eng Summary "In this poetic exploration of how trees help one another grow, readers follow along as the story of a tree's lifecycle is told in reverse - from mature giants to saplings to small sprouts to seeds waiting to pop."- Assigning source Provided by publisher Cataloging source NLC Kulekjian, Jessica Dewey number 582.16 Illustrations illustrations Index no index present Intended audience 000-015 LC call number QK475.8 LC item number.
