IBM Helps Konkan Railway Build Smarter Railroad in India
Konkan Railway selected IBM Informix Dynamic Server, when they developed their "Railway Application Package" (RAP) system to help manage, analyze and maintain train running information, schedules and reduce the passenger delays. The primary goal of this railway system was to improve service for its passengers, replace redundant manual procedures with efficient technology solutions to ultimately bring greater operating efficiency. "IBM technology has helped us keep our IT management costs down, while supporting rapid growth of our Railway system" observes Vijay Devnath, Chief Manager (IT), Konkan Railway.
IBM Helps Clients Reduce Data Management Costs With New Informix Dynamic Server
"We selected Informix to enable us to put together a large-scale data warehouse that would provide our customers with smarter satellite navigation and shorter journeys. We needed to manage data from up to 100,000 vehicles about driving speeds on 3.5 million road segments at all times of day -- this was a huge data challenge, and one that was likely to increase," said Jon Tasker, Project Manager at leading intelligent driving services provider, Trafficmaster, UK. "In our benchmarking process, Informix came out above all other leading solutions for its performance, scalability and reliability."
