    Lenovo Converged Analytics Platform for IBM

    As businesses look to embrace data-driven decision making processes to gain a competitive advantage or secure operational efficiencies, Lenovo, IBM and Intel have created a converged analytics platform to make that transition as smooth as possible. The Lenovo converged analytics platform for IBM provides enterprise-level support for a company’s analytical needs, whether it is open source Apache Spark, data warehouse or machine learning application development. Data scientists can define and develop suitable machine learning models using the IBM Watson Studio (formerly Data Science Experience) Local offering. In addition, IBM Watson Studio Local may be integrated with and draw upon a data lake featuring Hadoop and Spark databases along with IBM Db2 Big SQL and/or IBM Db2 Warehouse applications, enabling business to tap into a wealth of existing corporate information.

    The Lenovo converged analytics platform provides the ability to implement one, two or all three of these applications based on a company’s unique requirements. An added bonus is the ability of running this platform as part of an IBM Cloud Private (ICP) or ICP for Data deployment. ICP is an on-premise private cloud designed for enterprises to develop, test and run cloud-native applications. Effective cluster utilization can be achieved through containerization or economics of scale for rapid deployment using the ICP model.
