挑战
邓迪市议会服务于苏格兰 145,000 名公民，面临着用更少的资源做更多事情的挑战，并将 IT 视为可以削减成本的一个领域。议会需要在不影响公民服务质量的情况下节省成本。议会很快发现其 IT 基础设施是一个迫切需要改变以避免服务中断的领域，也是可以节省大量成本的领域。邓迪市议会坚信虚拟化是解决 IT 挑战的答案，因此开始制定计划，将物理服务器整合为由更少机器托管的虚拟实例。
关于客户
邓迪市议会是英国苏格兰邓迪市的地方政府议会。该议会服务于 145,000 名市民，在大学学期期间，学生人数将激增 20,000 人。该议会负责监督该市的各种市政服务。该议会的主要目标是尽可能可靠且经济高效地为市民提供高质量的服务，因此它一直在寻找在不影响服务质量的情况下进一步扩大预算的方法。
解决方案
理事会将支持关键服务的 Oracle 数据库环境从分布式服务器整合到 IBM® zEnterprise® BC12 平台，从而显著提高了效率。自那时起，运行 Linux 的 System z 大型机就一直是理事会的首选平台，最新版本是实施两台基于 IBM zEnterprise BC12 的 Enterprise Linux 服务器。该平台专用于在 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 上运行理事会的业务关键型 Oracle 数据库环境，支持一系列关键服务，包括工资单和在不同平台上运行的所有在线服务。每个 zBC12 都配备了两个 IBM Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) 专用引擎，用于运行大约 50 个虚拟 Linux 服务器。通过实现更高效的管理，该解决方案为理事会提供了卓越的性价比。

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.

Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
