    Summary

    Get ready for new IBM Data Gate functionality that synchronizes the most important IBM Z data sources to the Iceberg open-source data table format for access in IBM watsonx.data and many other technologies.

    IBM watsonx.data is an open, hybrid, and governed lakehouse, optimized for all data, traditional and generative AI workloads. Organizations can now efficiently incorporate the most up-to date, critical enterprise transactional data for analysis and for building and using AI models.

    Following a decades old architectural pattern of moving data through traditional approaches, organizations are losing opportunity to take advantage of the latest data to build models and use the most current data within the context of AI applications. There is a more modern, effective, lower cost and better way of providing enterprise data for an analytics and AI infrastructure.

    Join this IBM webcast to hear about the latest capabilities of the IBM Data Gate technology.
