Over the next six years JVC Kenwood Holdings is going to spend $27.4 million more or less (2.6 billion yen) so IBM can lift it into an outsourced cloud.
The system will utilize IBM's Shared Hosting Services for its System z mainframes or "zSHS" and be hosted out of IBM's data center in Makuhari, Chiba, Japan, where JVC's existing data centers in Saitama and Tokyo will be relocated.
The zSHS model is supposed to provide flexible IT assets and resources according to system demands and needs.
IBM is believed to be planning to use mainframes a lot in support of the cloud.
