Lesson 9: transport system of kazakhstan future perfect tense
Read the text and translate it:
Safety and reliability of railway operations in kazakhstan
That the problem of railway operation must be solved now with the use of the most up-to-date technical aids is clear everyone. That’s why National Company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (NC KTZ), the largest railway operator in Central Asia, has selected IBM, International Business Machines Corporation for providing hardware and software. IBM provide smart transportation systems to railway operators across Europe and worldwide. By using a combination of IBM hardware, software and services, leading rail networks are able to improve the speed, safety, reliability and efficiency of both passenger and freight trains. IBM will help Kazakh Railways to ensure the uninterrupted process of passenger and freight operations. The national railway of Kazakhstan is the backbone of the economy. IBM will make it more efficient and reliable and will lay the foundations for a smarter rail network in the country. The railway operator can better predict demand and optimize capacity to handle the increasing volume of rail traffic in the country
The system includes an IBM z10 mainframe computer. IBM will establish for Kazakh Railways a new system based on two disaster-proof data centers in the city of Astana. The new data centers will not only enable Kazakh Railways to consolidate core freight and passenger management operations but also increase the reliability of systems. It means the upgrade of a Kazakh Railway’s existing system.
The new system will help Kazakh Railways reduce possible downtime in the case of a systems failure. Downtime causes costly delays for passenger and freight rail. According to Kazakh Railways' own estimates, a day of downtime costs the company 940 million tenge (approximately $6 million) per day as well as causing disruptions for passengers. The new mainframe computer from IBM will help to reduce the potential downtime related to a systems failure from several hours to as little as 20 minutes.
