With version 2.1, IBM Machine Learning for z/OS is rebranded to IBM Watson Machine Learning for z/OS. It offers a hybrid cloud approach to model development and model deployment lifecycle management and collaboration that is designed to help organizations innovate and transform on an enterprise scale. It helps data scientists more quickly develop, deploy, and monitor behavioral models that continually learn as new data is introduced. IBM Db2 AI for z/OS, V1.2, a separately licensed product, uses machine learning to improve the operational performance of Db2 for z/OS systems. Watson Machine Learning for z/OS, V2.1 is a key component for operationalizing machine learning models on z/OS. It provides the ability to deploy models on z/OS that were developed and trained in the cloud, on IBM Z or on non IBM Z platforms. This provides greater deployment flexibility through a new architecture where model management, administration, and scoring services install and execute on z/OS. The new version includes capabilities that were previously separately available through IBM Open Data Analytics for z/OS to help simplify the acquisition, installation, and configuration of the product. Watson Machine Learning for z/OS provides an environment that fosters collaboration to enable innovation and transformation on an enterprise scale.
