- The LinuxONE 5 platform can handle 450 billion AI inference operations per day.
IBM (IBM, Financial) has launched a series of innovative hybrid AI technologies aimed at overcoming the challenges of scaling AI in enterprise environments. Announced during IBM's THINK event, these technologies are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing business infrastructures, enhancing AI implementation across multiple industry sectors.
One of the centerpiece innovations is the watsonx Orchestrate, which allows businesses to create AI agents in less than five minutes. This system can integrate with more than 80 leading business applications, including platforms from Microsoft, Salesforce, and SAP, significantly streamlining the deployment of AI capabilities.
The webMethods Hybrid Integration is projected to deliver a 176% return on investment (ROI) over three years. It promises a 40% reduction in downtime and a massive 67% time saving on simple projects by automating integration of applications, APIs, and events across hybrid cloud environments.
IBM also introduced the LinuxONE 5 platform, which is capable of processing up to 450 billion AI inference operations per day. This platform is designed to reduce the total cost of ownership by up to 44% compared to traditional x86 solutions over a five-year period, making AI adoption more economically viable for large-scale enterprises.
Further enhancing its AI portfolio, IBM's updated watsonx.data promises 40% more accurate AI results through improved handling of unstructured data. These advancements highlight IBM's commitment to providing enterprise-grade solutions that not only integrate AI but also deliver measurable outcomes in performance and efficiency.
IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, highlighted that the new AI capabilities position the company at the forefront of hybrid cloud integration and enterprise data, leveraging IBM's longstanding expertise and the robustness of its open ecosystems and partnerships.
