IBM Cloud Podcast

JD Wells kicks off this 4-part series around Software define Data centres and VMware on IBM Cloud. We get a complete overview of this key and revenant IT space and how IBM's relationship with VMware is providing a more Secure Journey To Cloud Trusted By Thousands Of Enterprises. VMware on IBM Cloud Solutions are designed to help move VMware workloads from on premises to the IBM Cloud.

Roger Snook joins us on the show to talk about how IBM offers the platform and tools needed to build native mobile apps and robust mobile back ends. Roger explains how the dynamic world of mobile is always changing and how we need to be prepared to build smarter mobile services and applications using, of course, IBM Cloud. If you plan or are planning  to build, launch and maintain native, hybrid or web-based mobile apps Roger gives us some food for thought in this thought provoking episode.  Don't forget to subscribe to get updates when a new episode launches To learn more, check out: https://www.ibm.com/cloud

In the final episode of our 7 mini-series on the The Challenges of AI, we chat with Clarinda Mascarenhas about an item that isn't part of the AI Ladder, but is still needed by enterprises - Modernize.  The average enterprise has 5-6, in addition to a wealth of data scattered across on-premises and legacy systems.  That data must be integrated, governed, and leveraged across the full AI lifecycle.  With Modernize, customers can make their data ready for an AI and hybrid cloud world by automating the end-to-end data and AI lifecycle management integrating and govern data across hybrid cloud and data settings virtualizing all data, regardless of where it lives Don't forget to subscribe to get updates when a new episode launches To learn more, check out: https://www.ibm.com/watson

In the sixth episode of our 7 mini-series on the The Challenges of AI, we chat with Susann Ulrich about the top rung of our ladder - Infuse.  Simply stated, this rung is about operationalizing AI throughout your business - leveraging AI to automate processes, improve business outcomes, reduce costs, make employees more productive, and rapidly innovate with new business models.

In this fifth episode of our mini-series on the The Challenges of AI, we chat with Chris Zobler about the third rung of the AI Ladder - Analyze.  65% of businesses do not fully trust their organizations analytics well enough to base their business on the output of machine learning models and AI software.  To address these concerns, clients want to instill trust with built-in explainability, bias remediation and policy compliance, as well as build, run and manage AI models in unified experience Don't forget to subscribe to get updates when a new episode launches To learn more, check out: https://www.ibm.com/watson

In this fourth episode of our 7-part mini-series on the The Challenges of AI, we chat with Jay Limburn about second rung of the AI Ladder - Organize, where clients moving to AI need to cleanse, integrate & catalog all types of data, ensure governance & lineage of all your data, and deploy virtual data pipelines so data doesn't have to be moved as it is used.

81% of businesses don't understand the data required for AI.  80% is locked in silos or not business-ready. In this third episode of our mini-series on the The Challenges of AI, we chat with Matthias Funke. about the first rung of the AI Ladder - Collect.  Before you can start doing AI, you need to know where your data resides across multiple clouds in a hybrid environment, the quality and value of the data, and its readiness to be ingested into analytics and AI tools.  The Collect rung of the ladder addresses these challenges by employing AI models for all types of data – structured, semi or unstructured, and providing access to this data through a common SQL engine.

Data fuels digital transformation.  AI unlocks the value of that Data.  Companies seeking to transform their business with artificial intelligence run into 3 major challenges: Data is the lifeblood of AI, but complexity slows progress.  80% is locked in silos or not business-ready. AI skills are rare and in high demand.  62% are challenged to acquire talent [and build skills]. Skepticism of AI systems & processes.  62% indicate need an approach to AI production readiness. Until these challenges are addressed, businesses will find that operationalizing, sustaining and scaling AI is challenging - in other words, an experiment. In the second of our 7-part series on the challenges of AI, Russ Milano discusses the IBM AI Ladder - IBM's prescriptive approach on how to solve the 3 challenges so AI transforms your business.

#Artificial #Intelligence is a $16T opportunity, the largest ever.   83% of all businesses say AI is a key initiative for the immediate #future.  Yet 81% don't understand the data required for AI, 60% see #compliance as a barrier due to a lack of #trust in AI outcomes, and 65% of businesses do not fully trust their own organizations analytics.  As a result, only 1 in 20 companies have extensively incorporated AI into offerings or processes Deborah Leff kicks off this 7-part series, exploring this #disconnect - the drive to #AI, the gaps hindering #adoption, and how can they be addressed?

In this episode, we chat with Allison Gaynor about building #secure cloud applications using a portfolio of #cloud #services. Companies want complete authority over their #sensitive data, to use their own #encryption, and the ability for access #control lock down. We dive in why nearly $4M of data breaches happen across the U.S. yearly, and how nearly half of them are due to #malicious or #criminal acts on the part of employees. In this informative episode full of scary stats, you’ll learn that getting ahead of this is crucial for today’s businesses (edited)  With a growing portfolio of offerings, Hyper Protect Crypto Services, Hyper Protect DBaaS, and Hyper Protect Virtual Servers are today’s showcase offerings with exciting new offerings to follow very soon.

Cloud-native #development takes an #agile approach to creating new #applications. Using a #DevOps based #continuous #delivery model, #software development teams can quickly, iteratively and #automatically add new features to an application. This has created a shift in how we build and create applications and run workloads In this final part to our mini-series on Everything #CloudNative, we chat again with Briana Frank, taking a look back at the previous episodes then diving into IT's hottest topic: #IBM and #RedHat. We find out how it is all going before chatting around views on #open sources and #technologies, how and why IBM could move with speed, what changes today's users will see , managed Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud and finally, we take a glance into Briana's crystal ball.
