ARMONK, N.Y., Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
today announced a broad expansion of its Cloud Data Services
portfolio with more than 25 services now available on the IBM
Cloud. They are designed to help developers build, deploy and
manage web and mobile applications and enable data scientists to
discover hidden trends using data and analytics in the cloud. The
hybrid cloud services can be deployed across multiple cloud
providers and are based on open source technologies, open
ecosystems that include company and third-party data, and open
architectures that allows data to easily flow amongst the different
services.
In addition to self-service capabilities for everything from
data preparation, migration, and integration, to tools for advanced
data exploration and modeling, IBM introduced the following new
cloud data services today:
- IBM Compose Enterprise: A managed platform designed to
help development teams build modern web-scale apps faster by
enabling them to deploy business-ready open source databases in
minutes on their own dedicated cloud servers.
- IBM Graph: The first fully managed graph database
service built on Apache® TinkerPop that provides developers
a complete stack to extend business-ready apps with real-time
recommendations, fraud detection, IoT and network analysis
uses.
- IBM Predictive Analytics: A service that allows
developers to easily self-build machine learning models from a
broad library into applications to help deliver predictions for
specific product use cases, without the help of a data
scientist.
- IBM Analytics Exchange: An open data exchange that
includes a catalog of more than 150 publicly available datasets
that can be used for analysis or integrated into applications.
"Data is the common thread within the enterprise, regardless of
where its source might be. In the past, data handlers have relied
on disparate systems for data needs, but our goal is to move data
into the future by providing a one-stop shop to access, build,
develop and explore data," said Derek
Schoettle, General Manager, Analytics Platform and Cloud
Data Services. "IBM's integrated Cloud Data Services give
developers greater scalability and flexibility to build, deploy and
manage web and mobile cloud applications, and enable data
scientists to apply information across businesses efficiently."
IBM Graph delivers the only enterprise-grade graph database as a
service, built on Apache TinkerPop, the leading open source graph
technology stack. Provided as a service, IBM Graph helps remove the
complexities traditionally associated with moving data from
existing databases to graph architectures.
"It is good to see Apache TinkerPop and the Gremlin graph
traversal language being adopted as the primary interface to IBM's
Graph service," said Marko A.
Rodriguez, Apache TinkerPop Project Management Committee
member. "IBM was instrumental in pushing TinkerPop to join the
Apache Software Foundation which is important because Apache
provides a commercial-friendly license and a tried-and-true open
source development model that has done wonders for TinkerPop's
software and community. I hope other large enterprises follow IBM's
decision to leverage Apache TinkerPop in their respective graph
products and services."
The new offerings build on IBM's significant investment in
Apache Spark and further complement its mission to provide
enterprise class support for open source developers and data
handlers of any level. IBM has redesigned more than 25 of the
company's core analytics and commerce solutions with Apache®Spark™-
helping to dramatically accelerate their real-time processing
capabilities.
