IBM Systems helps IT leaders think differently about their infrastructure. IBM servers and storage are no longer inanimate - they can understand, reason, and learn so our clients can innovate while avoiding IT issues. Our systems power the world’s most important industries and our clients are the architects of the future. Join us to help build our leading-edge technology portfolio designed for cognitive business and optimized for cloud computing.
Our mission at IBM is to modernize IBM Z data access and use cases. For that we currently work on these product lines
- IBM Data Gate is the one-stop solution for building hybrid cloud applications with Z data: a modern approach where you leave your existing data stores and applications on Z untouched, but still get current and transactional consistent copies of that data on the cloud (public or private). Data Gate enables a hybrid architecture where mainframe data stores and applications co-exist with cloud environments. It synchronizes IBM Z data to the cloud for modern cloud data architectures such as Apache Iceberg and IBM watsonx.
- IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS is a software appliance that enables analytical and machine learning workloads for relational databases. It supports the most demanding customers in analyzing and accelerating their queries in Db2 for z/OS.
- IBM AI Optimizer for Z is a software application that empowers clients to leverage generative artificial intelligence technologies and accelerate the adoption of AI solutions across IBM Z workloads. Designed to save time, effort, and cost, AI Optimizer for Z enables clients to deploy, integrate, and monitor AI solutions with speed, simplicity, and ease.
