挑战
Dataport, a pioneer in providing IT and communication services for government agencies in Germany, was facing several challenges. The company was tasked with digitalizing public administration, which was a significant undertaking. Additionally, they were dealing with ongoing high costs associated with throttled processors. The utilization of mainframe capacity was increasing, and there was a growing demand due to new customers. The company was also considering accepting Saxony-Anhalt as a new customer, which would further strain their mainframe capacity.
解决方案
To address these challenges, Dataport turned to Software AG's solutions. They implemented the Database Management System powered by Adabas, Application Development powered by Natural, and Application Modernization powered by Adabas & Natural and EntireX. A key part of the solution was the use of IBM's zIIP (z Systems Integrated Information Processor). By shifting the workload to the zIIP processors, the main processors were freed up and could be used for external clients without upgrading equipment and obtaining IBM licenses. This effectively solved the mainframe capacity problem. The zIIP enablement significantly improved mainframe capacity by offloading the Natural-supported batch and online workload from the GPP to an IBM zIIP.

During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
