Global Big Data Conference

IBM Corp. today introduced new versions of its Cloud Pak for Data and Cloud Pak for Automation products that will enable enterprises to harness deep learning models in their operations more easily. The Cloud Pak product family is a set of software solutions designed to streamline a variety of tasks ranging from cybersecurity to data analytics. The entire lineup is based on Red Hat OpenShift. Thanks to OpenShift, the solutions can run both in the public cloud and on on-premises infrastructure. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses artificial neural networks to learn from massive amounts of data. IBM Chief Executive Arvind Krishna (pictured) in October named the hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence as core pillars of the company's revenue growth strategy.
