Data virtualization challenges traditional technologies
Data virtualization, which has emerged alongside traditional solutions, aims to achieve the same end results data lakes and data warehouses. Which is better: self-service virtualization or a comprehensive data warehouse?
Technical implementation of data virtualization
The traditional way of implementing data virtualization is based on data federation, where the central coordinator of the network collects and partially processes the data sent by all nodes.
What huge volume of data are required for smart AI
Smart AI algorithms in all their glory, but without a steady supply of large amounts of reliable data, they are useless. I will describe how data on-site opens great opportunities and cloud solutions so that even smaller companies can keep up.
Are you transforming customer interaction into valuable insights?
Digitization means that we have more ways to communicate than ever before. Still, many choose to keep using traditional channels such as telephone calls when they want to contact customer service. Many companies, however, have found that it’s too costly to offer this type of service, and don’t see the potential in collecting the data. […]
Helping smallholder farmers predict the weather can transform the global food system
The COVID-19 crisis has brought stark focus into the ongoing challenges to global food security from existing food systems. Therefore, how can we ensure we produce enough food for a growing global population, with supply resilient to future shocks? How can we ensure environmental sustainability and healthy nutrition for all? Nature-positive Food Systems for a […]
Are you into testing?
Test data is data being specifically identified for use in tests, typically of a computer program/application. Some data may be used in a confirmatory way, typically to verify that a given set of inputs to a given function produces the expected result. Other data may be used in order to challenge the ability of the program […]
Enhancing the festival experience with Big Data and AI
At Skanderborg Music Festival – or “Smukfest” as it is called, IBM has worked on improving the festival experience with smart technologies. Thus, the implementation of Big Data analysis and AI (artificial intelligence) throughout the festival has secured predictions, insights, and answers to benefit both the festival guests and the Smukfest organizers/crew. In the video […]
Beautiful creatures and how to find them
Today, data is at the core of running any business on this planet. We often do not think about this, but more about how we store, retrieve, cleanse, enrich, move and secure data. With a wealth of tools to help us do this, it is becoming increasingly more important that we utilise the right source […]
Control your data or drown trying
In my previous blog, I introduced IBM Cloud Paks. They are enterprise-ready, containerized, pre-integrated software solutions that give clients an open, faster and more secure way to build, move and manage core business applications on any cloud. In this one, we will dig deeper into one of the five paks, namely the IBM Cloud Pak […]
