And AI, both supervised and unsupervised machine learning, is the best and sometimes only way to unlock these new insights at scale. New insights are found in the combination of new data with existing data, and the identification of new relationships. A lakehouse should make it easy to combine new data from a variety of different sources, with mission critical data about customers and transactions that reside in existing repositories. Join us virtually at IBM watsonx Day The analytics repositories market landscapeĬurrently, we see the lakehouse as an augmentation, not a replacement, of existing data stores, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Let’s dive into the analytics landscape and what makes watsonx.data unique.

To help organizations scale AI workloads, we recently announced IBM watsonx.data, a data store built on an open data lakehouse architecture and part of the watsonx AI and data platform. The data lakehouse architecture combines the flexibility, scalability and cost advantages of data lakes with the performance, functionality and usability of data warehouses to deliver optimal price-performance for a variety of data, analytics and AI workloads. It is comprised of commodity cloud object storage, open data and open table formats, and high-performance open-source query engines. Previous attempts at addressing some of these challenges have failed to meet their promise. Against this challenging backdrop, the sense of urgency has never been higher for businesses to leverage AI for competitive advantage. Moreover, increased regulatory requirements make it harder for enterprises to democratize data access and scale the adoption of analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). The proliferation of data silos also inhibits the unification and enrichment of data which is essential to unlocking the new insights.

The exercise room was nicely designed with good equipment and they also offer regular classes such as yoga, aerobics, dance and others.Įvery resident we saw appeared to be very well cared for in a peaceful, yet fun environment by kind and attentive staff. The staff takes residents on weekly outings for shopping and entertainment to enjoy all sorts of activities, from nature walks to cultural events. They also had a private dining room for friends and family to enjoy and visit in. The lunch we saw was like you might find in an upscale diner.

The restaurant style dining had many delicious menu choices. The private housing options were all lovely and looked like they had been personalized to the tastes of each resident. We could see that the facility offers plenty of amenities - like social enrichment activities in and around the community. The interior foyer looked like that of a nice motel, but with more space. The outside grounds were colorful, well designed and pleasant, with plenty of nice seating areas.
