The moment the racquet hits the tennis ball, IBM® captures the speed time and technique. That data is then analysed in real-time, shared and managed in the cloud - all before the next shot.
IBM's range of analytics and cloud solutions work together, leveraging an efficient and cost-effective IT environment to help create business impact. Discover how the same technology designed to create a successful Australian Open 2012 event could help your organisation gain a competitive edge.
High performance business
For 50 weeks of the year, Tennis Australia operates as a small business. However, during the two weeks of the Australian Open, Tennis Australia experiences a significant surge in workflow and needs to dramatically scale-up its IT infrastructure to meet the demand.
Since 2009, using a highly virtualized, dynamic infrastructure, visits to the Private Cloud supporting australianopen.com have grown by 45% percent, yet cost per visit has dropped 35%. IBM continually strives to make our data centres (which sits at the base of our private or public cloud solutions) more efficient, allowing organisations such as Tennis Australia and our business clients realise benefits such as:
- Simplified IT environment
- Improved IT utilisation and system availability with virtualisation
- Lower cost and complexity through consolidation and standardisation
- Increased flexibility and scalability of IT Infrastructure, based on the client's business need
- Improve application specific monitoring and tuning
Discover how IBM is helping to deliver a scalable, flexible and secure IT solution by looking to cloud computing.
