Hybrid Cloud & AI
Technological innovations in hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence aim to expand the potential of edge computing and cloud security capabilities across public and private clouds. As the high-performance computing needs of global society ramp up, the ability to access curated data and processing power from multiple distributed data centers and workloads will be paramount.
With an emphasis on data protection and isolation, IBM and Illinois teams will collaborate to explore how open-source innovation and artificial intelligence can drive the next era of cloud computing, and define the essential workforce skills necessary for running increasingly powerful and critical workloads.
