IBM delivers machine learning on the private cloud Networks Asia

IBM is making machine learning technology available in the place where much of the world's enterprise data resides: the z System mainframe. Big Blue announced IBM Machine Learning, a cognitive platform for creating, training and deploying a high volume of analytic models in the private cloud. The platform draws on the core machine learning technology from its Watson Machine Learning service on its Bluemix public cloud offering. "Our mission is making data simple and accessible to clients," says Rob Thomas, general manager, IBM Analytics. "If you look at the data landscape today, over 90 percent of the data in the world today cannot be Googled. Most of that data resides behind corporate firewalls in private clouds."
