It Just Sits There and Runs
This old mantra is set up to support complacency.

A couple weeks ago, I upgraded an old Model 520 to a POWER9 S914 in Ontario, Canada. It was a great coup for a couple of reasons, the first being that these folks were off IBM hardware and software maintenance for about 10 years or so. They were having physical problems with the old machine, and it was really on its last legs. Secondly, considering we brought them from IBM i 5.4 all the way up to version 7.2, we had to navigate past a few object observability issues.

Introducing IBM Watson Studio!

At its heart, of course, is the server, the parallel array that provides the kind of horsepower required to churn through the many iterations required to properly train an AI model on a large set of data. And there’s also the special language that allows the Watson models to understand both structured and unstructured data. But beyond that are a number of other packages that help simplify and automate the process.
