关于客户
沙漠研究所 (DRI) 的愿景是成为研究自然和人为环境变化影响的科学领袖，并推进旨在评估不断变化的地球的环境技术。其尖端研究应用于帮助解决世界上一些最紧迫的环境问题。为了支持这项工作并帮助内华达州实现经济多元化，DRI 与内华达州经济发展办公室 (GOED) 和内华达州就业、培训和康复部 (DETR) 合作实施了 IBM 强大的云计算平台，使科学家和工程师能够更快地分析数据；将数据作为服务提供给合作组织和机构；并为新兴行业提供劳动力培训。该平台已经帮助 DRI 科学家在水在植物中的流动方面取得了新发现，最终可能有助于干旱环境中的社区提高农作物产量。
挑战
沙漠研究所 (DRI) 是内华达高等教育系统的环境研究机构。DRI 拥有 550 多名科学家、工程师和技术人员，在里诺和拉斯维加斯设有校区，致力于解决世界上一些最大的环境问题。近年来，科学家面临的挑战之一是分析来自实地观察、实验室系统、远程传感器网络和数学模型的不断增加的数据量、速度和种类。收集的数据量非常大。事实上，DRI 的大气科学家正在与 NASA 合作，计划每天产生多达 24 TB 数据的任务。DRI 的教职员工传统上负责获取支持其研究项目所需的计算和存储技术。通常，从世界各地的偏远地区收集的数据存储在平面文件中，并由各个研究团队管理。这种分散的方法增加了 IT 成本，并限制了组织研究数据的使用方式。
解决方案
IBM 为 DRI、GOED 和 DETR 提供的不仅仅是 IBM® PureSystems™ 产品技术解决方案。IBM PureApplication™ System 和 IBM PureData™ System for Transactions 是 IBM PureSystems 系列的一部分，被选为 DRI 新 IT 基础架构的构建块。PureApplication System 为 DRI 提供了一个标准化的云应用程序平台，使其能够将来自众多不同系统的数据库应用程序整合到单个系统中。IBM PureSystems 产品在两天内就已在 DRI 部署并运行。在六周内，该组织在几个关键领域取得了成果。例如，DRI 科学家经常使用 ESRI ArcGIS 软件来绘制环境变化图。现在，使用 PureApplication System 上的 ESRI ArcGIS 应用程序模式，DRI 科学家可以在几分钟内重复使用已部署的 ArcGIS 软件。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
