IBM Next Steps With Machine Learning: Mainframe and Power

IBM Machine Learning for z/OS could be a boon to big banks and insurance companies that want advanced analytics on the mainframe. Next up is the IBM Power platform. Public cloud providers have popularized machine learning with low-cost, easily accessible services, but that's a separate world from the tightly regulated, on-premises computing environments maintained by many big banks and insurance companies. Now IBM is bringing cutting-edge analytics to these mainframe customers with IBM Machine Learning (IBM ML) for z/OS. Announced February 15 in New York, IBM ML is a private-cloud-only offshoot IBM Watson Machine Learning, the public-cloud service on IBM Bluemix.
