SWITZERLAND: SBB Cargo has begun using a cloud-hosted version of IVU Traffic Technologies’ IVU.rail software to plan the deployment of around 320 locomotives and 2 200 employees each day.
The supplier said its IVU.cloud package offered the operator scalability, with a secure connection enabling up to 150 people work simultaneously on high-availability servers provided by Amazon Web Services.
‘Compared with a local installation, we arrive at solutions more quickly and receive patches and new releases from IVU.rail straight after they come out’, said Michel Thüring, Head of IT Production at SBB Cargo. ‘Instead of co-ordinating multiple suppliers, we receive the entire service from a single source with the IVU.cloud, allowing us to respond quickly to changes and adapt the system flexibly.’
