关于客户
德国气候计算中心 (DKRZ) 是一家位于德国汉堡的国家级机构。该组织为研究地球气候系统、应对全球气候变化及其区域影响的科学家提供高性能计算和存储资源。DKRZ 向专门研究气候和地球系统建模的科学家开放，并为用户提供全面的高性能计算 (HPC) 基础设施，这些基础设施专门针对气候系统的复杂数值模型进行了定制。每年，来自世界各地的 6,000 多名科学家访问存储在 DKRZ 的数据，支持研究项目，以加深他们对气候变化过程和影响的理解。
挑战
德国气候计算中心 (DKRZ) 是一家位于德国汉堡的国家级机构。该组织为研究地球气候系统、应对全球气候变化及其区域影响的科学家提供高性能计算和存储资源。由于未来五年的年增长率预计为 75 PB，DKRZ 需要升级到更强大的存储解决方案。DKRZ 可视化和公共关系部门负责人 Michael Böttinger 表示：“高效地存储和检索数据对于我们的 HPC 系统始终为科学家提供最佳性能至关重要。为了继续提供世界一流的高性能计算系统，我们需要一个同样世界一流的数据归档系统。”
解决方案
DKRZ 评估了几种不同的存储解决方案，最终选择了基于高性能存储系统的超可扩展、高可靠性的分层存储管理和数据归档解决方案，这是美国能源部实验室与 IBM 十多年合作的成果。IBM 提供了最具吸引力和功能性的软件包，并已证明它可以提供领先的技术，并提供高素质专家的访问，包括现场协助以部署和操作强大的高性能解决方案。DKRZ 与 IBM 全球技术服务部合作实施高性能存储解决方案，并将其集成到 DKRZ 数据中心现场的新 HPC 环境中。高性能存储系统旨在以高数据速率管理和访问数百 PB 的数据。IBM 解决方案控制端到端数据生命周期，聚合小文件并将非活动数据移动到磁带并在使用时自动检索。这使 DKRZ 能够安全高效地存储大量实验数据，同时使科学家可以根据需要快速轻松地访问这些数据。

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.
