Our Mission
AI is transforming industries across the globe, and the most forward-thinking enterprises are increasingly recognizing the value of leveraging AI capabilities to uncover business insights and make data-driven decisions in real-time. As AI continues to evolve, it's imperative for enterprises to infuse it in their mission-critical workloads.
With more than 70% of world’s transactions running on IBM Z and LinuxONE, IBM has been at the forefront of investing in a robust, enterprise-optimized hardware and a full stack software specifically designed to handle AI workloads. This stack ensures that AI performance aligns with the high reliability, scalability, and security standards that IBM Z and LinuxONE is known for.
With the IBM Integrated Accelerator for AI, embedded directly into the chip with cores, IBM Z and LinuxONE now delivers real-time inferencing capability that is specifically optimized for the complex mathematical computations required by AI models. This means AI inferencing can now be done at scale and with low latency, seamlessly alongside IBM Z and LinuxONE workloads. In addition to this cutting-edge AI hardware, IBM provides a comprehensive software stack tailored for AI on IBM Z and LinuxONE. This software foundation ensures that enterprises can seamlessly integrate AI capabilities into their existing workflows, empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their data with minimal disruption.
The AI discovery workshop will showcase the business value of performing AI inference directly on IBM Z and LinuxONE. Attendees will learn how to take a model trained on industry-standard frameworks and deploy it to IBM Z and LinuxONE with ease. Furthermore, we’ll demonstrate how to quickly integrate inferencing and scoring capabilities into existing applications using these deployed models, opening new opportunities for AI-powered innovation.
Discover new opportunities and drive innovation through collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams of deep technical experts. Together, we unlock new business value by co-creating solutions with clients and partners. At every step of the journey, we'll show how the enterprise can leverage AI on Z.
· Goal – Connect and engage with top technical experts from IBM and Red Hat to unlock the full potential of transformative solutions.
· Innovate- Get inspired to explore cutting-edge technologies and demonstrate the art of the possible, pushing boundaries to transform your business.
· Co-Create- Design and innovate at the pace of a startup, while leveraging the scale, security, and reliability of enterprise-grade solutions.
· Success- Provide hands-on access to infrastructure resources, enabling the development of demos, prototypes.
To identify the most valuable use case, we need the enterprise team participation to achieve these goals and be successful with the implementation. So, we suggest the participation of the of the following personas in the workshop:
- Application Engineer
- SRE/Infrastructure Engineer
- Line of Business
- Data Architecture
- Data Scientist
With this team collaborating in the workshop we can achieve the following workshop outcomes:
- Gain an understanding of the technology necessary for implementing an AI solution on IBM Z and/or LinuxONE.
- Identify, define, prioritize, and evaluate all potential AI use cases, then selecting one with high value and feasibility.
- Define the scope of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), create a reference architecture, and collaborate to deliver a Proof of Concept (POC) for the selected use case.
Engage with an AI on IBM Z and LinuxONE expert team to identify and ideate on candidate use cases that address your business challenges, understand the art of possible with AI infusion on IBM Z & LinuxONE. This can be a done in one workshop delivered onsite or virtually. A sample agenda can be as follows but note that the content is specifically designed to meet the needs of each client.
This workshop will demonstrate the business value of performing AI scoring and inferencing directly on IBM Z or LinuxONE and will bring the user through a journey of taking a model trained in industry standard data science frameworks, off platform, and easily deploying that model onto IBM Z and LinuxONE. It will also show how we can easily then take existing applications and quickly modify them to add inferencing and/or scoring using this deployed model. Overall, this workshop will ensure that you have the architecture, practices, and hands-on experience to successfully begin your AI on IBM Z and LinuxONE journey.
