IBM Z16 WITH REALTIME AI FOR TRANSACTION PROCESSING AT SCALE BY MANAS RANJAN info@smechannels.com
THE IBM Z16, IBM’S NEXT-GENERATION system with an integrated on-chip AI accelerator delivers latency-optimized inferencing. This will enable clients to analyze real-time transactions, at scale -- for mission-critical workloads such as credit card, healthcare and financial transactions. It is specifically designed to help protect against near-future threats that might be used to crack today’s encryption technologies. IBM z16 uniquely brings together AI inferencing, via its IBM Telum Processor, with secured and reliable high-volume transaction processing. This will empower banks to analyze for fraud during transactions on a massive scale. IBM z16 can process 300 billion inference requests per day within one millisecond of latency. With IBM z16, banks can reduce the time and energy required to handle fraudulent transactions on their credit card. For both merchants and card issuers, this could mean a reduction in revenue loss as consumers could avoid frustration associated with false declines where they might turn to other cards for future transactions. At a time when other threats including tax fraud and organized retail theft are emerging as challenges for governments and businesses to control and Real-time payments and alternative payment
methods like cryptocurrencies are pushing the limits on traditional fraud detection techniques, the new capabilities of IBM z16 can help create a new class of use cases, including Loan approval, Clearing and settlement, and federated learning for retail. Securing data with quantum-safe system In a hybrid cloud environment inclusive of on-premises and public cloud resources, it is critical to protect against today’s threats and posture against cyber criminals who may be stealing data now for decryption later. Building on IBM technologies like Pervasive Encryption and Confidential Computing, IBM z16 takes cyber resiliency a leap further by protecting data against future threats that could evolve with advances in quantum computing. Being a quantum-safe system, IBM z16 is underpinned by lattice-based cryptography, an approach for constructing security primitives that helps protect data and systems against current and future threats. With IBM z16 quantum-safe cryptography, businesses can future-ready their applications and data today.
THE MATRIX 2MP PAN-TILT-ZOOM CAMERA, AS ITS NAME SUGGESTS PAN-TILTAND ZOOM FEATURES AND HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR 360° SURVEILLANCE. THE MATRIX CAMERA IS A BLEND OF PERFORMANCE AND STURDY DESIGN. POWERED USING BACK-ILLUMINATED SONY STARVIS SERIES SENSORS, THE DEVICE OFFERS SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY IN LOW-LIGHT CONDITIONS. APART FROM THIS, IMAGE ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES MAKE SURE THE IMAGE CLARITY IS CONSTANT IN VARYING LIGHT CONDITIONS. ALSO, THE CAMERA OFFERS INFRARED SENSORS THAT PROVIDE NIGHT VISION UP TO 200 METRES. WHAT’S MORE? WELL, THE 360° PAN RANGE MAKES SURE THAT YOU CAN MONITOR LARGE AREAS EASILY WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAMERAS. AGAIN, OFFERING OPTICAL ZOOM UP TO 33 TIMES YOU CAN ZOOM INTO DETAILS WITH A SINGLE CLICK. SINCE IT HAS A STURDY BUILT, THE CAMERA CAN WITHSTAND EXTERNAL IMPACTS (IK10 CERTIFIED). LIKEWISE, THEY CAN ALSO WITHSTAND HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS (IP67 - INGRESS PROTECTION). AMONG THE OTHER KEY FEATURES, THE CAMERA HAS 33X OPTICAL ZOOM AND 16X DIGITAL ZOOM CAPACITY ALONG WITH 1920 X 1080 RESOLUTION. THE DEVICE BOASTS TRUE WDR (140DB) AND H.265 VIDEO COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY. EQUIPPED WITH A 256GB EDGE STORAGE, 8 AUTOMATIC SCANS, 500 PRESETS, THE MATRIX CAMERA ALSO OFFERS INTELLIGENT VIDEO ANALYTICS TO THE USERS.
