Laying the foundations for Enterprise AI with HPC and Big Data Analytics

Artificial Intelligence (AI), a theory where machines perform tasks with intelligence like humans, has been the talk of the town across all industries and for all the right reasons. AI is no longer just used to describe the sophisticated consumer profiling platforms and techniques used by the likes of Google and Facebook, Amazon, etc. There has been widespread investigation on AI applications, research and now live adoption in fields like Healthcare, Manufacturing or Industrial applications, Logistics, Defense & Security, Retail, and many more in order to stay competitive while also taking advantage of the additional business models to generate additional revenue. However, the challenge lies in understanding what AI means in a business context and creating a converged architecture for the specific use case that is economically viable. At Fujitsu, we observed on our digital co-creation journey with several customers that IoT implementation in industrial enterprise applications is enabling customers to utilize AI to effectively automate their processes.
