Managing Data for AI and Analytics at Scale with an Open Data Lakehouse Approach: IBM watsonx.data

Most enterprises face a severe problem of data that is kept in silos, cannot be integrated due to a lack of definition and governance, and is unavailable for analysis. This is no secret; in fact, most enterprises are aware of the problem and are actively seeking a solution.

This IDC white paper discusses the topic of managing data used for broad-based AI and analytics use cases, both in the formal context of a data warehouse, and in the more dynamic context of a data lake. IBM watsonx.data supports a range of current standard technologies for moving, handling, and accessing data, and supports managing that data all together in a feature-rich, unified environment.
