UK national weather service has new mainframes that can perform 23,000 trillion calculations a second
Met Office, the UK's national weather service, has a new IT solution,
thanks to a partnership between the service, IBM and Computacenter. It will allow the Met Office to process greater volumes of weather data faster. Currently, the service collects and safeguards around 200 million weather observations every day. The new environment includes two new mainframes with 44 cores, and 200 terabytes of attached storage. This solution will allow the Met Office to perform more than 23,000 trillion calculations per second. The platform is based on two IBM z13 LinuxOne mainframes and IBM hybrid storage systems.
