The computing giant is celebrating its 70th year operating in Ireland.
South East Technological University (SETU) is getting a new €11.5m computer system thanks to IBM.
The IBM z17 mainframe – used for around 70pc of global transactions by value – will help support students and researchers develop their skills, the company said. SETU acquired the system through an educational loan agreement.
“This latest support to boost education and research will help equip the next generation with the capabilities required for the AI era, whilst strengthening Ireland’s position as a hub for advanced enterprise technology,” said Taoiseach Micheál Martin, TD.
